A smooth consistent running prewound bobbin is important to quality stitching, so be leery of cheap "no name" bobbins. A while back, we were given a box of "no names" by a dealer to try. He just got some in and wanted to know how they ran. They were the poorest running bobbins we ever had ..... bobbin tension was all over the place and this in turn affected the quality of stitching. Ended up throwing the box of bobbins in the garbage, we couldn't use them and the dealer didn't want them back. Trusew are a good running bobbin but if you wish to switch, NEBS [plastic side] or Magna-glide [sideless, magnetic] also run very nice. Manufacturers / dealers are always willing to send out sample bobbins to try, so take advantage of this to see how some of the bobbins run on your machine before you purchase a box.

Well, that is fine, but considering the price has gone up almost $10.00 a box, I would like to find something else at a little better price. I have never had a problem with the Coats, but at the rate of price increases, I need to find something else. > Thanks, > > LuAnn @ Image Embroidery > Because Your "Image" Matters > =========================================================== > > The AmayaUsers Mailing List > Website: http://www.amayausers.com > Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards > Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list > > =========================================================== =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
