I have some spare bobbins from another machine and they are about 1/16th of an inch taller-------------just enough that they won't work.
I even went to a Singer on line site for my machinea and still can't find what bobbin I need.

GrannieAnnie, it looks as if your machine takes a class 66 bobbin. Here's an online parts store listing parts for your machine:

I was told quite a few years ago by my Jamone serviceman that I shouldn't use the metal ones in my 9000 b/c of a magnet in the bobbin case and that it wouldn't spin right( I hope I'm remembering correctly) I guess my advice to you is use what came with your machine and/or check with your serviceman to see what they say. This particular guy also said to only use Organ needles in it b/c that's what he adjusted it to when he checked my machine. But the place I take my machines to now says I can use Janome, Schmetz or Organ.

David, use the coupons at Joann's and get some new ones!! Doesn't seem like there is any correct answer and everyone has different opinions. I also have a Brother and some old metal bobbins from my old Singer, so I use plastic in the Brother and use my old metal ones for "thread on the go" so I don't have to lug spools with me to do a little sewing away from home. Those spare bobbins fit nicely in those clear plastic pill dispensers (the daily/weekly ones) or like I bought at Joann's, one that has a spring lock bar so they don't accidently open. It was only a couple of dollars and I still used a 20% off coupon and each compartment fits two bobbins.
