The bobbin case is metal and the bobbins I use are plastic. I also have gotten plastic bobbins that I thought were the same but they were not. My metal bobbins are too big for the machine. When I have read the bobbin bubble packs I have yet to read one that said you could use it on a Simplicy machine. But my Shirley Baby works for me and I can't ask for anything more.
Which model do you have?
Good morning. Shiirley is Model 1170, I purchased her from QVC. She and I have made clothes. quilts and a few odds and ends. I have limited room when I live, so I can't use a large machine. As I said we seem to get along really well. She will do quite a few regular and stretch switches. I am teaching my DGD (nine years old) to sew and she thinks Shirley is really neat. DGD knows that she will get Shirley when I can afford another. BrendaK :lol: :lol:
