My Singer is about 15 years old. I have tried all kinds of Singer bobbins and could not find one that would work. I can tell because only the correct bobbin works on the bobbin winder. After reading this board for a while, I learned there are different Singer bobbins. My manual did not tell me. I had to go to the tech info for my model on the Singer web site to find that I needed a 15J. They are hard to find. I finally found some at a sewing machine parts site. And they only come in plastic.
Find out the correct bobbin for your machine. I saves a lot of problems. It is not true that a bobbin is a bobbin is a bobbin.

I have a Quantum Futura - it come with a plastic bobbin - so I bought more Singer bobbins - not all plastic bobbins fit the same! It ruined my bobbin carriage and had to replace it - it had to be a bobbin made exactly for the Quantum Futura! The repair person showed me the ever so slight difference in the way the bobbin was made! So, as Barb 44 just stated, it is not true that a bobbin is a bobbin is a bobbin!!!! From experience I found out!
