I use L bobbins all the time in my Husqvarna Viking Designer SE. I use NEB bobbins (clear plastic sides) that I found at http://www.discountembroiderysupply.com
Prewound bobbins will not work in earlier Husqvarna models, like the #1+, but they work fine in the Designer SE.

I have a ton of bobbins already wound. I also have a sidewinder, a gift I love, and I can't see getting prewounds but I guess my machine can't use them anyway.(Bernina virtuosa 153 QE). I can see the sense of using them for embroidery though.

My daughter has a commercial embroidery machine and uses prewound bobbins all the time because it saves so much time. I recently got some for my Babylock sewing/embroidery machine because it winds the bobbins oddly and they sometimes jam. So...until I can get it to the shop I will use the prewounds.

I am confused to how and when you would use prewound bobbins because in most of my quilting projects I find, for tension reasons, that I need to have the same type of thread top and bottom. Are they just for embroidery?
