Hello I am new to mettler thread....do you use this thread in the bobbins also?...or do you use something else?

I have used the thread in my bobbin. It works great. It's thicker than some of the other thread (Aurifil) I use for quilting which I like. It really is just a matter of preference. I like the colors within the box. Hope this helps.

I just got this machine and set it up last night. It was delivered with 4 regular-sized spools of thread with not much thread on the spools. Already threaded. I will tie new threads on to each as suggested and use the hand wheel to advance them through the needles. I was forewarned not to let the thread run out so I don't have to rethread. (Though looking at it, it's clear where the threads go and perhaps it's not that difficult on this machine? Time will tell, I'm sure.) I'm a little worried the delivered spools will run out quickly, so haven't run the serger yet -- will install new spools before trying. Order thread or buy it before the serger is delivered. (Someone on a diff question suggested one site to buy. Hancock's has Maxi-lock on sale these two weeks.) Remember you need 4 spools to run full - that will be 4 white spools at a time, for instance! Even on sale it adds up! I did read that one can even use a bobbin for small jobs; that a bobbin would hold enough thread for perhaps one small tee? There's something called a Bob'n Serge - a little tray with small pins for 5 bobbins that fits on one of the pins. Mixed reviews, found 2 who really love it, some who said why bother. If you're only serging a little, makes sense. I also saw an expert who piggy backs sequential bobbins without cutting the thread between? Lots to explore. HTH.

I'm sorry, but I use this for storing all sizes of household batteries, not for sewing items. To me it looks like the back half would hold more than 20 spools of thread and then you still have the front half which would hold way more than just bobbins, if we are talking about the same size bin that I bought.

Yes you can use regular thread. And you can bring this machine to any sewing store which service sewing machine.

Reinsert your bobbin and make sure you have it caught in the slot on bobbin case.After that hand turn your machine over.Rotate the wheel forward to go down into the bobbin case area.Thread should rotate around and be caught up by the sewing machine hook.Than the bobbin thread should come to the top.If this doesn't happen your timing on your machine might have been push off. Did you try to sew a really heavy fabric or thickness.This can move the timing out of placement.It will require having it checked by a sewing machine repairman.But first recheck that both top and bottom thread are threaded correctly.Also check your needle to see if it is bent or worn.Replacement is the easiest test. Also check to see if there is a lot of lint build up in the bobbin area.It can be cleaned out with canned air. How long have you had your machine and how much have you used it? Without seeing the machine I'm guessing at possible causes of problems with the machine.Did you have any problem with the tension before this problem came up?

I haven't tested all thread. T-40 will be safe. Topstitching threads are also fine with an appropriate topstitching needle. Also when using heavier threads decrease the top tension and if using it in the bobbin, it may also need adjusting. Usually I keep two bobbin cases on hand, one specifically for T-50 and the other for specialty threads or heavier threads. I only use this machine for travel or just straight sewing. My answer applies to most home sewing machines with removeable bobbin cases. Happy Stitchin', BAMAY

That's exactly what I used it for. No sewing machines here... Just needed good thread for mending little hem tears, etc.

The bobbins are medal ones not plastic. So depends on your sewing machine. I just use them for thread .

I'm sorry I can't give you a d you to know approximately how much thread you get so I used one spool of black which I really don't need,and I put it on about 5 bobbins,a little l I figured its about 5 bobbins full,a little less. worth,for the price,I think its good.

Not really. The bobbin winder is on top by the thread holder. It is easy to thread and easy to use. Then you must put it in the bobbin holder beneath the needle.

No...just wind some thread onto some bobbins and put them on the spindles instead of entire cones...at least, that's what I do. You can buy larger bobbins for industrial machines that will hold more thread and you won't run out in the middle of a project like I have done before on the smaller bobbins. It doesn't matter what kind of bobbins you use as long as they fit on the spindles.

The thread is very thin and difficult to work with. I could not get it to work in my serger and I can get a lot of different kinds of threads to work in my serger but this thread was a no go no matter what I did with the tension. I would not recommend this thread.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with thread sizes. Hope someone else can help with your question.

This thread is for sewing machine or hand sewing. It is not for embroidery. I have this and it works good for me.

these are generic bobbins and dont fit snuggly in machine. i have a different brother and bought these because they said they were the same style. they made an awful noise rattling in my machine and my stitches were less even. refer to your machine's manual and buy name brand. its worth it

First of all, the string (line) goes on opposite of the arrows. The arrows on the bobbin point the way you turn the bobbin. Secondly, you cut the length recommended, thread through the bobbin and wind both sides at the same time. No doubt it's awkward and hard to keep the line from unwinding as you attempt to thread it through the cup holes, but it can be done with a little practice.

I'm not sure. Check your manual to see if this model of bobbin will work. What I do know is that you should use the same type of bobbin every time. Your machine's bobbin tension will stay the same if you use the same type of bobbins. I bought these and LOVE them! It is 100% worth the money to buy a large amount of prewound bobbins! I was buying 10 at a time and it got expensive. Buying them in bulk cut the cost tremendously! Hope this helps! Happy sewing!
