    I use Superior bottom line prewound bobbins for my longarm and love them. The tension is perfect and there is a lot of thread on them.

    They don't work well in my machine. I save them for hand sewing.

    I match my top thread and bobbin thread so I don't think prewounds would work... Unless you can get neutral colors prewound but aren't most of them white or black?

    I purchased some plastic bobbins off E-bay... they were sold as being parts for Janome.. but they were just plastic bobbins.. now I know what they were probably from.. the one I purchased them from when I complained gave my money back and did not want the bobbins back... Now I know why..

    This is the site that I found and I LOVE the free shipping, and it's the cheapest place I have found.

    Anyone find anything cheaper?

    You do need to know the size of your bobbins.

    I use both poly and cotton all the time for both my pfaff and mega quilter - and they last a lot longer - watch that they are for you sewing machine - I love them! as for price compared to winding I am not sure but saves time and I get more sewing done can do a lot of piecing before changing another bobbin...

    I use the Clear Glide bobbins for all my piecing. I have a light tan and a dark tan, and a light grey and a dark grey. That's all I ever use. I love the Clear Glide bobbins because they hold more thread than a wound on my machine bobbin.
