pre wound bobbins
 

I was at Joanns today trying to find something to use my coupon on.
they now have colored pre wound bobbins.
a dozen different colors. each on it's own bobbin
2 colorways, pastels or darks/neutrals $3.99/12
on a 50%, for 1.99, I figured i'd give it a whirl and see how they are.
You know, sometimes you're in a pinch.

Please let us know what you think of them.

thanks for the heads up

Let us know how they work for you. I've never used prewound bobbins

Who are they made by as our local fabric store can no longer get the pre-wounds that work in my Babylock and Viking. They're the taller bobbins so not "L" but I think they're called "15" size.

I know people use them. My problem is that I have more than one machine and, unfortunately, each have a different type of bobbin. Is it written on the package to what machines these bobbins go to?

If they have the cardboard backings, I take the backings off before using in the bobbin. No casing means they can be used in most of the machines I have. I use the plastic bobbin ones as spools of thread when I need certain colors and know I won't use a whole spool of that color.

I have been using pre wound bobbins for the last few years. I find them convenient and the best solution for me. I hate winding bobbins. These bobbins are the perfect. I normally use black or white. I often get them off Amazon. I have prime so I normally never pay for shipping. It works for me. I have learned NOT to use embroidery bobbins for regular sewing. Embroidery bobbins are wound much tighter with thinner threads. They are made for embroidery machines.

I use prewounds all the time. I have a Janome 10001 that is also an embroidery machine, a Janome 3160QDC & an APQS George sit-down quilting machine. Use the PWs in all 3 machines. I get them from Superior Threads loaded w/Bottom Line thread. Use them for all piecing & as bobbin thread for the embroidery machine. Don't like to use anything else & have never had problems with them. Highly recommend them for their consistency, thread load & variety of colors. Onely one negative - I have to order them on-line but get them when on sale direct from Superior.
Excellent customer service. Kathy

Are they Dritz or Coats n Clark? Those are the ones I found on the JoAnns website. I like the new Superior pre-wounds on the plastic bobbins better. I wasn't crazy about the cardboard ones.
