Hi Carol,
Just make sure you use the bobbins that are used for the rotary hook bobbin
case for the 9mm 730E, 200E, 180E or 1630 Bernina models. The other bobbins
for the 5.5mm CB hook machines are not the L-Style you need for the Amaya XT.
The Bernina gold-latch 9mm bobbin cases for the 730E, 200E and 180E with the
pig tail will also work on the Amaya XT, but if you buy these from a Bernina
dealer, they could charge around $60.00 for one bobbin case. I'd buy the $4.99
ones from Allstitch that I gave you a link to which look identical to the ones
I got with the Amaya XT. Who knows, they are probably made by the same
manufacturer.
Ed Orantes is very correct about the anti-backslash spring acting as a brake
for metal bobbins, but my experience with "my" Amaya XT is that I can use the
bobbin cases without the anti-backslash spring with my Bernina metal bobbins
stitching at speeds of 1,400 spm. Perhaps with other non-Bernina bobbins, you
will need a bobbin case with an anti-backslash spring. But your Amaya XT could
be calibrated differently from mine, so do whatever works for you.
I use my Bernina 730E and/or 180E to wind my bobbins for the Amaya XT. As for
your question to me about reusing and winding the cardboard bobbins--I wouldn't
bother. They are so cheap and the cardboard deposits gunk into the bobbin
case's tension plate which creates havoc on the bobbin tension giving you
terrible stitch results which can be an expensive lesson depending on what you
are embroidering on at the time the tension is screwed up. It has happened to
me twice. I always peel off the cardboard of the bobbin side that rests inside
the bobbin case to try to avoid this, leaving the other cardboard side facing
outward when I use these bobbins.
Enjoy!
Ed Roux
