Candace, Thanks for the answer/information. I did buy 4 Bernina bobbins for the machine but now know I will buy more in the near future. The bobbins that came with the machine were all vintage bobbins at any rate so will rehome them to my Singer bobbin collection. The lady who sold me the bobbins said that I would get a better tension with the Bernina ones.
Also, I would never use plastic in a vintage metal machine and nor use metal bobbins in a modern machine.
