I use pre-wound NEB bobbins for my embroidery projects and then use the empty NEB bobbins for when I need just a little of one color for a project. Saves my good machine bobbins for larger projects. Plus I can use the NEB bobbins in both my Viking D1 and my Babylock Ellegante machines. Probably could use them in my new to me Brother XR3140 if I get the little insert pin that goes into the bobbin case to bring the bobbin up a little. Haven't tried the pre-wounds for the quilt machine as my bobbin winder works get for me plus winds my "L" bobbins too..........excluding the green Viking bobbins.

this source of prewound cotton class 15/A is new to me.
my first source is still rebuilding after a fire.
i get the Clear-Quilt.
the per-bobbin price is less than i have seen some dealers charge for empty brand-name bobbins.
the bobbins are re-usable, too.

Quilting Lady, you are right, I misspoke (typed). It was my older Ellageo that used the L bobbins. However, I also used the L prewounds in my old Janome 9000 with no problem. Then when I got a new Sofia, it used a 15 and my newer Esante uses the 15 and my Brother uses the 15, so - well, it is hard to keep up.!
=QuiltnLady1;7436972]Rennie -- my Janomes all usethe Class 15 or A bobbin. The L's are just a little shorter -- the 1600p is the only Janome that uses the L. The Innovas use the M.
I use prewound bobbins most of the time for piecing -- I just make sure to get the 15/A's. I have heard of some Janome owners using the L's with the magic genie washers, but I have not tried it. I usually wind my own bobbins when machine quilting since I like the thread to match if it pulls up. [/QUOTE]
