These are excellent thread and will fit most modern machines. They are cotton so there is an increase of lint and "fuzz" in your bobbin case so you will need to keep the bobbin case wiped out depending on the amount of sewing you do. I would recommend at lease very project or so. along with the bobbin case, you machine will need to be cleaned out professionally every year because of the lint.

I wondered the same thing about my Brother Sewing Machine, I went on google to find out what sew machines would best fit the Gathering Foot and, there was the answer. It gave so much information about the subject.

You can use a little bigger but need bigger eye of needle. What size thread do you want to use? Monday phoneme. Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

I don't see any reason why not. I don't sew, but I can tell that the fabric is not too heavy for a sewing machine. It looks like a winning solution to me.

Yes, this really is for that type of materials. Of course, you still need the proper threads (usually heavy duty nylon) and very heavy duty needles (18 or 20). I would seriously advise you to sew on scraps (or similar weights) to set tension and make sure you're getting a good stitch before you try sewing on your project.

I think you should be all set with this machine. The bobbins and everything you need to get started should be included. This machine is easy to operate and thread. Best of luck! This is great for a first time buyer.

Whether they fit or not, these bobbins are crap! Not worth a cent. I have a sewing school and thought I'd buy them as they'd fit my machines, which are also made by Janome. They were warped, broke easily and were yellowed, like the plastic was old. Do not buy these! By these other ones on Amazon, Link: http://amzn.com/B0038RAYL2. They will fit in your machine. I don't work for anyone who makes bobbins, just in case you want to know. I am trying to save you from a bad purchase. Your machine, as many machines now, use a class 15 bobbin. But, make sure, if you buy a bobbin labeled as a class 15, that you do not choose one that has a flat top/bottom. There are some class 15 bobbins that have a thinner edge and they are smaller than the ones I recommend and will not feed well when you use them. I hope this helps you.

You need to purchase a machine embroidery needle. The size you purchase depends on the thickness/heaviness of the cloth you are embroidering. An 80/12 should work for fabric that is similar to quilting cotton. A 90/14 would be good for a heavier fabric like denim. You don't need to purchase a specific brand - just make sure it says embroidery somewhere on the package.

You might talk to your local dealer if possible, or try googling "sewing machine insert." I did and there was quite a number of hits. I really like my lift. I use it with my serger and don't have an insert, although it would be helpful if I got one. I may have to check it out.

Yes, they are slightly thicker/ taller than all other bobbins. They fit just right. Always check size of thickness. Yes, they are the same size as those that come with machine.

You can get an adapter, usually I see wooden ones that the spool goes on giving a firmer grip on the machine. I would go for a bigger spool for a serger since these don't have a lot to them. Great for one or two projects per color and a lot of colors in the pack. I use them on my sewing machine without an adapter, just put it over the spool pin thread and go. They aren't high quality, so not good for projects requiring stronger thread... But good for personal and fun projects. I haven't had issues.

They work great for the purpose you described. Just make sure they are clean to avoid and abrasion. Also, wash clothes separately. DW

Make sure your embroidery foot is properly on and screwed onto the machine, if not properly placed on it will break/bend needles. Also there are certain size needles for types of fabric, cotton types use needle size 80/90, for heavier like fleece, layers or quilted items use 100 size. Hope this helps. Also check to make sure your bobbin is not affected, the needle going down can nest in the bobbin and make a big mess in that area.

I currently use this for sewing, and it only shakes at a particular sewing speed. If I sew faster or slower, no shaking, but there's a "sweet spot" where it shakes quite a bit. I have a pretty basic Singer sewing machine, and so far I'm doing pretty limited light-duty and craft sewing, not garments and not frequently. If you do a lot of sewing, you'll probably want to invest in something more substantial; but if you're a light use hobby sewer, this might be just fine.

I cannot tell you for sure whether these are 90wt or not. What I can tell you, is my machine is a very finicky Brother that would only allow me to use 90wt thread. I decided to order these just to see if my machine would accept prewounds. To my surprise, I have had no problems with these bobbins. I hope I have been somewhat helpful.

No, this would be a great fabric to use. My regular old Brother sewing machine had no problems sewing this material

I believe only home use machine bobbins. I have two home sewing machines - a Janome DC3050 and an old Singer 401A. Bobbins for both those home machines are a good snug fit in these cases. Those industrial Juki bobbins look quite a bit larger. If the Jukis do not fit in any other regular bobbin case (maybe take a bobbin to a store, if possible, and try them out in some other brands of bobbin cases???) they probably won't fit these cases.
