However, I would recommend buying another L-style bobbin case which tension has been adjusted specifically for a certain thread type so you don't have to readjust the bobbin case tension back and forth when you switch have to switch back to embroidery bobbin thread. They are so cheap....I bought three bobbin cases for under $8 each to use with different thread types. Just make sure you mark them with a permanent marker so you know which bobbin case is used for which type of thread. If you have the metal bobbins for the Bernina 1630, 180E, 200E, or 730E, these will work in your Amaya bobbin case. By the way, you can also use the same thread for the top as well. I have had no problems with them. Enjoy!
