Singer 128 bullet bobbins
I am sure someone (probably several someones) can help me figure this out. I have a Singer 128 in a wooden domed box. I have been trying to find more bobbins for it. However, the ones I see on ebay seem to have a different tip that the ones that came with my machine. My bobbins are very pointed on both ends whereas the ones I see photos of appear to be blunt or even rounded. Did the ones I got get worn down? Certainly doesn't look that way since they are all exactly the same. Am I going about looking for them the wrong way or do I just need to find bobbins that are the correct length and not worry about pointy ends or not? Hope this makes sense and thanks for any suggestions you can offer.

KLO,
The original bobbins were pointed on the ends. The current after market ones are too blunt. I have mostly OEMs but do also have some aftermarkets. The OEMs work better.
You might PM Macybaby, she might be able to help you find some originals.
