I may be wrong but my machine uses "L" and class 15, one is just wider than the other. I use the metal pin insert with the L bobbins and the class 15 is the same width as the bobbins that came with my machine. I also use a penny under the bobbin when I misplace my metal pin.

I simply use the bobbin winder to transfer the thread from the L bobbins to Class 15 bobbins as needed for any project on hand.
