Does this machine have the traditional drop in bobbin? I hate the newer bobbins on the Brother machines, so I am looking for a drop in bobbin.

I'm sorry Susanna. Unfortunately, no. It has the bobbin insert on the front side. You have to slide the support attachment out and then you can flip a little panel to access the bobbin insert. Sorry!

The bobbin slips into a traditional bobbin holder, which then slips into the machine. Very easy to use. Great little work horse of a sewing machine.

The handibobs do not go in the machine. They just sit on the top of the spool of thread and hold the bobbin until you want to use it. Hope that helps.

Sorry, mine is a different Brother model and it does work fine. I have the Brother that does embroidering + regular sewing.

I have a Janome MyStyle100 - not familiar with 7318 but at the store, there were two models of walking foot for Janome and which one you use depends on the position of your bobbin placement, either "horizontal" or "rotary" - mine is horizontal, meaning it lies flat below and to the front of the needle. I have another machine where the bobbin goes in a casing which installs it in a more upright position somewhat to the left of the needle - those are the ones called rotary and would use the other foot. I got mine at a fabric store that also sells sewing machines, and it was a few dollars less than ordering from Amazon - if you have a sewing machine place that sells Janome, I would ask them which walking foot you should get.

Read your manual, there are only two different sizes of bobbins that Brother makes. The SA156 and the SA155. Almost all newer machines use the SA156, but check your manual to be sure. If all else fails, call Brother customer service, the number should be on the face of your manual.

Like others, I've only bought the Brother version, so I can't vouch for the aftermarket ones. Brother version works just fine, and since I don't do heavy printing with it, the price difference isn't important.

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.

I would say so. It is heavier than the Brother I had before I bought this machine, but not by much, and only because it has metal parts (higher quality)! It is a beast at sewing through layers! I travel with mine just fine.

Sorry I don't know about Pfaff bobbins. I have Singer Featherweight bobbins and Brother CS6000i bobbins. If you Google these, perhaps you would be able to tell how closely they compare to the Pfaff.

I have had both machine and definitely prefer and highly recommend the Janome. The stitches are perfect no misses and I work this machine a lot. I use a lot of spandex fabric and it still never misses a stitch even going over the seams. Releasing the fabric is always a problem unless you want to 'run off the edge' of the fabric and end that way. The brother always gave me problems as it would not always release the stitch like it was supposed to. The Janome does. Just make sure as you pull your fabric out you have hold of all 3 threads else you will unravel the stitches. I work with doll clothes and the only thing I wish the Janome would do was to give me a narrow stitch which the Brother has, but having used it now for over 6 months and it runs so smooth I can give up that for not having missed stitches or thread breaking. The arm extension is useful to be able to drop your fabric down and around. This feature is not on the Brother. I would highly recommend this machine to anyone wanting a cover stitch machine. This machine is used daily by me so 6 months of my life is probably over 12 months in someone else's life. :)

I have the same 'problem'...it's a bit inconvenient to change the bobbin. However, it is relatively easy to just take the sewing machine out and place it temporarily on the table to change the bobbin. It's not an 'ideal' situation but I find the convenience of the table outweighs the inconvenience of changing/filling bobbins.

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 have a brother LS-2125 and BL 137A2- it's also an embroidery machine. So far works great on both machines. Planning to try it on my singer CXL next week.

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

No it does not. You have to use the bobbins that comes with the machine,but if you want my advice, stay away from this piece of crap.
