If you're bored, you can pull the sides off the carboard ones. We've used plastic sided as well. They run fine but are more expensive and generally, have less thread loaded on them. In other words, why pay more if things run the same? Magna is a waste on the amaya. In my experience on our Big Reds, I actually got more false bobbon breaks and didn't see any change in sew quality. Besides, if actifeed is doing it's job, tension shouldn't be an issue with a properly adjusted bobbin case. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
