So I know that it SAYS "drop in bobbin only", but is that actually true? I have a White with a front-loading bobbin case, will this really not work?

I'm not sure how the bobbin would impact this working. The shank type is important, but I don't think the bobbin type is going to impact how it functions. I have used this foot on two separate machines, one with a front and one with a drop-in bobbin.

This product has nothing to do with the type of machine you use. The bobbin portion is adjustable, and tightens to make a snug fit around the bobbin, then inserts into the center opening of the spool.That way it simply attaches a bobbin to spool of thread. Very handy and keeps things neat.

Tension settings are never "one size fits all". And at this price you do NOT get automatic tensioning. The only way you know what works, is to test it on scraps of material before you sew on your project. If the machine is not threaded correctly, or the bobbin is in wrong, you will have problems that not even resetting the tension will help. Learn to thread these new Brothers correctly, or you'll have problems and it will seem like the tension is off. The machine will come set at usually 4, and that is for medium weight cotton fabrics. From there on, you need to learn how to set the tension.

Mel, This is only a guess, I will get back to you with details. Bobbin is 3/4 full. I am guessing cotton, it's very soft. I will be using on a project soon and can check back in. I think this set it something that you would use for a repair or a small bit of work. Not much on the spindle and they are paper tubes. Best part was 64 wound bobbins.

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.

I use the prewound bobbins in my Brother Quattro and they work fine. You don't need to buy "brother" bobbins. I'm not sure if they are the L or the M bobbins. The ad should tell what machine they are for. No problem with off brand bobbins also.

This machine is only set up for thread. Yarn would get bogged down in the bobbin case. You should look at commercial sewing machines to use with yarn. :)

Mrs. Woodhouse are you under the impression I am a dealer? I am a regular consumer just like you. I have no way of knowing if this bobbin will work on your sewing machine. I have a Fresia 415 and it works perfectly with that. The bobbin is green and stamped with the H insigna and has a square hole in it. Good luck.

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 do not know, but I DO know this....not all the bobbins would work in my Babylock Quest...I have tossed about a third of them, I think.

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.

Tighten your upper tension. Also, make sure you hold your bobbin with your finger when you are threading it. You should feel a kind of catch then it is in the right place. Lastly, made sure your needle is in correctly and tight, sometimes the vibration of the machine will loosen the needle.

Hi! I have several different Brother Machines, with bobbins of different sizes. This case holds all of them just fine. I actually have 4 cases as I like to keeps all bobbins of the same size in the same case. I use one case for filled bobbin thread for my embroidery machines. :)

I believe so. I have both the drop in bobbin Janome and the bobbin case Janome.

It is my understanding that it creates less tension on the bottom. I've quilted many many quilts with the regular bobbin case as well. Its my belief this low tension case gives better results

i have janome, works fine. they are just the pastic small bobbins. unless your machine takes the larger bobbins usually found with oscillating machines it should work. they work with my singer standard sewing machine with drop in bobbin as well.

Either you are not threading your machine correctly , your bobbin is not threaded correctly or you may need to adjust the tension on the machine. Don't adjust it a lot at one time. Just a little at a time. You may need to play around with it. Have patience.
