    Hi All,

    I am wondering where the best place to buy empty bobbins. I need Class 15 and 66 bobbins in metal and was wanting to buy in big lots of them. This is for my personal use and I was wanting to go somewhere other than eBay since I shut my Paypal down (tired of it being hacked and my bank account being emptied every few months).

    I looked at the typical Hancock Fabrics and Joanns and they didnt offer lots of 25, or 50. Although if I wanted to buy in pks of 4 they had me covered. :lol:

    Thank you for helping me out

    Billy

    I tried the prewound bobbins and my machine doesn't like them. I bought something like 50 of them and ended up tossing all of them in the trash

    I bet Hancocks or Hobby Lobby would have them.

    I Googled and found this place: 50 Class 15 metal bobbins are $15 (don't know about shipping costs):
    http://sewingpartsonline.com/bobbins...l-10-pack.aspx

    My bet is that jhittle would have the bobbins you want in large quantities for a good price. They are hard to search online, though. Try calling them at 1-877-805-2616

    Thank you for all of the different place to look for them. I looked at Sewing Parts Online and thew were a good deal but the Class 66 was a bit pricey. I am going to look at the other two spots just to see what kind of deal they have.

    But 50 for $15 is not bad at all.
