Pre wound bobbins
 
Hi everyone,

Does anybody out there use pre wound bobbins in their embroidery machines? I have a Brother 4000d and would like to know how Hesse work and if they are any good..... What size or type I need.

Hugs

I use prewound bobbins all the time. Not that brand tho.

I don't like to use them. I like my bobbin the same color as my top thread.

Prewound bobbins are wonderful!!!

Most of the domestic machines are size L bobbin (smaller) the M's are usually for the mid and long arm machines. I have not heard of any of the domestic machines using the M size bobbins, but I have not looked at a new machine in years. Here is a link that will help http://www.allstitch.net/content/wha...chine-1026.cfm

I LOVE the prewounds..they hold so much more thread and it is finer weight for the back of the stitchout. I have Bro machines and my ULT's use the "L" size. The class 15 are the same diameter, but taller & won't work in my machines. I buy the plastic bobbins from metroemb and can re-use when I put color threads in the bobbin. I think the "M" ones are for commercial machines. I will never wind for embroidery again--except for matching colors. You will be amazed at how long you can embroider without replacing a bobbin!

I use mine in my babylock espire so I would imagine you could since the brothers and the babylocks are the same

I bought a case of white and a case of black when I bought my machine. I use NEB. My sister uses them, too. she gets them from me! We both have BabyLocks. I just have to remember to switch bobbin cases when using them and they require the adapter because they are shorter.

I use Nebbs prewound all the time. and if it doesnt fit the machine, I re wind on to the correct bobbin. works everytime. This is a finer thread and goes a long way when there is alot of embroidery to do.

I use the prewound for embroidery with my Brother machine- not sure what brand I just go to the dealer and buy them - but want to get some from the internet will be a LOT cheaper :)

Fil Tec is the leader in prewound bobbins. Superior has pre wounds which are very good to match their threads. I was told to always take the paper backing off the prewound bobbins, not many know to do that if they want. The pre wounds are wound with perfect tension and has much more thread on them then any machine winding can do. I buy my prewounds here: http://www.bobbincentral.com/

I use them and love them.

I have a 4000d and all I use are prewound bobbins. I use Fil Tecs Class 15. They work great. Have never heard of Hesse.
