Hi Sandy - Like Pattiann, I think you should have success with your bobbins. Let's talk about those bobbins: I had the same problem and knew that people were pleased and actually raving about those bobbins. I discovered that the Type L and Type A (aka 15A) looked a LOT alike but were actually different...

A couple of things here that I might suggest. when doing sweatshirts, make sure the fabric stays in the hoop (if not hoopless) during the design sew out. That means that it can pop out at any time, given the right circumstances. So check the stability of the hoops a couple of times as you go along. I...

I'm having the same problem. I've adjusted the tention too. I have a Brother PE 700. I only use the needles and bobbins perscribed by the User's Manual. I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong.

Hi, Gladys. Unlike sewing, where the bobbin and top threads meet in the center, the machine embroidery process slightly pulls the top thread to the back of the item being embroidered.....the bobbin and top thread do not have to match. However, the bobbin and top thread should be the same color when embroidering...

Home sewing machines generally use Style L bobbins. You can measure your bobbins that came with the machine. The diameter is the obvious difference. The L Bobbin is the approximate size of a nickle and the M won't fit in a home machine at all. Bobbin Style Inches Millimeters Height Diameter Height...

Definitely not "M". Size 15 (aka style A or class A) is the most common as is "L". The "L" size bobbin is a little shorter than the 15/A. Here is a graphic that shows the difference - http://www.allstitch.net/content/what-size-bobbins-will-work-in-my-home-embroidery-machine...

Hi, I have a question that I can't find the answer to. I have a Brother Innov-is 4000D. I'm needing to get some bobbins, what size do I get? I'm looking at the Fil-Tec clear-glide but I don't know what size I need. There is the classic 15, "L", "M". I've looked...

There are certainly differing thoughts on bobbin thread. The one thing that I feel like I am seeing is that bobbin thread tends to be lighter weight than the top thread. For instance, I have a spool of bobbin thread and it is size 70, and another that is 60 weight, the higher the number, the lighter...
