    Default Bobbin Washers

    Came across bobbin washers and am wondering if anyone has tried them with a Husqvarna. They look like a thin washer made of some sort of super slippery material that makes the bobbine spin more smoothly in it's caseing. Any reviews?

    They are to help with any backlash of the bobbin while stitching. I use them on my mid arm quilter and it has helped with the occasional loose jump of the bobbin thread.

    I've tried it in my older Bernina they work great. I'm guessing they won't work in my Bernina 830!!!!

    I use them during FMQ on my Bernina 430 and they do seem to help, especially when making turns or changing directions.

    I use them in my old singers and it has been very helpful!

    They sound like something I must have! Where do you purchase them? Thank you.

    I tried them in my Janome and did not see a difference. Thank goodness I have an amazing LQS who let me try them during a class so I wasn't out any money.
