I've used the L bobbins I bought for my sewing machine--any fabric store should have them. You might want to take your bobbin holder with you to make sure it fits.

I know Melco recommends that we only use the paper disposable bobbins, but (being disposable), I'm having trouble re-using them by winding the colored thread on my sewing machine (they fall apart on removal from the bobbin winder). Is there a type of bobbin I can use to make colored bobbins (or less preferably a supplier of colored bobbins) for the Amaya?
