Brother A156 Bobbins?
 
Hi - got a new Brother machine and had hoped the bobbins would be the same as the old one Class 15. But they are A156 they look similar in size - are they compatible? Hard to find the A156 bobbins - not available everywhere. It is a sewing/quilting machine not embroidery. I have looked and cannot find an answer.

Did they change the look of the class 15 bobbin sat some point. The ones I have look a little different to the ones I just looked at on line. And the ones I just looked at - look exactly like the A156 bobbins. The new ones that came with the machine are flat on the ends but the ones I had for the old machine are flat but has a little dip or ridge around the edge - not sure how to explain it better. The ones for the old machine are Dritz bobbins. Think I answered my question - looks like I need to order some new bobbins Class 15 and not Dritz - those weren't rated too good. Any opions would help.

I use the class 15 plastic bobbins in my brother machine - no problems

also you can buy the A156 online through the brother website but they are not cheap

I bought my machine from AllBrands. It came with 100 bobbins! I will have bobbins for life. Maybe they sell just bobbins, too. I've not looked but it might be a place to try.
