I bought 144 cardboard ones on ebay once. They worked great with my machine at the time. I have a few left, but found that the Bobbin Winder, what is it called -- The Sidewinder, will fill bobbins so much fuller, that I wind mine on that now and it is great. Really fills the bobbins, no matter which machine I am winding for. Some sizes don't fit on it, but all of my Janome's bobbins do. They are super for my embroidery machine, had to change the regular, wound on the machine bobbin, 3 times. Only used one bobbin wound on the Sidewinder for the same design.

another source. they have both cotton and polyester; reasonable prices; class L and class 15 (best size for Janome). all are plastic. judging by the picture, you can easily re-use their class 15s. i'm not sure about the class Ls since they don't have the little holes in the tops.

i've also used the prewound bobbins from quiltinaday.com, which are class L (no little holes). even though they aren't the "correct" size for my Janome, they work just fine for piecing and the low-bobbin sensor works.

i guess we could drill little holes in the used class Ls and re-use those, too.

My Pfaff dealer warned me to be sure and use the prewound bobbins MEANT specifically for embroidery. The regular prewound bobbins' thread is too heavy for embroidery and can jam your machine.
