What does this machine come with? I just ordered- wondering If I need extras. Metal or plastic bobbins and which kind?

Oh....mine was bought new and came in a box with a manual. No idea about used machines.

Just replace the broken one. Also, you don't have to have all the needle slots filled to operate the machine. Some small detail work only needs a couple of needles. I'm no expert--just a newbie user. Enjoy creating!

Yes, everything is metal. I have not seen any plastic parts on this machine.

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

We already bought a new machine (same one) but we kept the old one. I am going to try fixing my old machine with your suggestion. I'll post the outcome. In any case, thank you for replying to my post. We were on the phone with Brother and they really didn't give any good suggestions and also all the authorized service centers wanted to charge over $100 to look at the machine and parts and labor would be extra.

I have ordered additional discs and I would suspect you can order parts also by contacting the company directly. The address and phone number is in the book that came with your machine. If you cannot find it let me know and I will look it up for you when I get home and let you know.

This machine has been GREAT. I use assorted threads. I do not use plastic because it does not always last in dry cleaning and pressing. This machine has been one of my best investments. P.S. I have a small alterations shop.

I was fooled into thinking the box came with bobbins in it too, nope! Gotta buy the bobbins seperate.

Thanks for your contact! I do have multiple machines in stock - so, I can send you some photos - but, they would only be an example of quality, not necessarily the exact unit you would receive. All these machines are in good used condition - no damage or defects - just minor signs of handling due to use/testing/shipping/etc. Please don't hesitate to get in contact with any further questions. Thanks!

I got this from the internet. It is important to ensure that you have the correct bobbin. You should not use ... 15J, 85128, Plastic, As 15 with thinned edges. 66, 32522, Metal ... Sure Fit, Plastic. Centaur .... 2000, Futura, Plastic .... New Athena 2009, 15J, Plastic. Pixie Plus ...

I'm not positive but I would guess some metal and some plastic since it isn't a top of the line machine.....but I have had mine for over 2 years now and have had not one needle break or ANY problems with this machine. It's a great beginner, intermediate machine and would be great for taking to a class too because it's not huge! I love this little workhorse of a machine and have sewn through the thickest materials and interfacaing, even the gals in my sewing class where shocked at how well my machine did compared to their $1000 or more machines!!! I hope this helps!

Be Careful, they sell a model with plastic gears. If you are buying one, make sure the ad says METAL gears.

Sadly (if you're on a budget at all), the next step up I believe is the Brother 1250...a gorgeous machine, but runs about $1700. Not available at Amazon; I think you have to buy it from a dealer. I want exactly the same thing, but not to spend that much on a hobby I only do once in awhile. I ordered the Singer Futura XL-400 because it just is TOO tempting despite the reviews....has large embroidery area and some nice regular sewing stitches....guess what? The machine CROAKED the first time we tried to embroider with it! My husband is a computer guy and I'm experienced at embroidery...we read the directions carefully..... VERY disappointing, I should have believed the reviews here on Amazon....would not recommend that machine, no matter how tempting it looks! Getting customer service from Singer is nearly impossible, too. Hope you find this helpful....wish Brother would come out with something as dependable as the se400, but with 5x7 capabilities at the lower price!

The bobbin size of 15J is the only bobbin that is supposed to be used with this machine. Have you checked to make sure your needle is not bent? I have learned so much by going to You Tube and typing in Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 and Strikesmyfancy has a whole series of videos that shows how to operate this machine. One of the first videos shows exactly how to insert the bobbin. Hope this helps.

It has some plastic parts. You may wish to google " SINGER 4423 Heavy Duty, plastic parts" Or " SINGER 4423 Heavy Duty Reviews" to find out more. I sew daily on this machine for years and am very happy with its performance.
