Brother Sewing and Embroidery Bobbins 10-Pack, SA156,Clear

After buying a 10-pack of cheap knockoff SA156 bobbins, which did not work well at all, I spent a few extra dollars to get the real thing and Ill always do so from now on. The difference in quality between the two is laughable - these are the real deal, smooth, perfectly sized, no sharp nubs of plastic in the middle of the stems like the knockoffs (also purchased here at Amazon) had, no sharp edges to scratch your bobbin case. I highly recommend saving yourself some time and frustration and picking up these actual Brother bobbins if you have a machine that uses SA156 (and no, I dont work for Brother, just love my machine!). They might be cheaper elsewhere, I havent checked my local stores yet, but even if not Id rather pay a few extra dollars and get some quality bobbins that wont wreck my machine or cause me to waste time endlessly winding and rewinding.

I struggled with finding these model bobbins in Joanns for years. They kept telling me a certain universal brand would work, but when I went to use them, bobbin issues would abound. It was annoying to the point that I thought I needed a new machine. It wasnt until I was looking for singer bobbins that the sales lady leveled with me. She asked me what bobbins I was looking for, I said ones for a singer, and she said, good, we dont carry any other type. I order these when I got home, tested them out when they arrived, and promptly returned the singer to Joanns once I realized my bobbin issues were a thing of the past. TL;DR: These revived my nearly 10 year old ce-4000 and let me avoid a costly mistake!

Item as described, just like the ones that came with my machine (XR3340). More expensive than the generic brands on Amazon, but after having tried purchasing generic ones and finding them utterly defective and useless, I spent the extra money for these and they are perfect. I recommend it!

I was thrilled to find bobbins to fit my sewing machine at a great price. I like to keep a number of bobbins wound when working on a project so I dont have to stop in the middle of sewing to wind another bobbin. At this price I can afford to keep enough bobbins on hand.

I have a Brother SE400 which requires a certain type of bobbins, these, and so I needed to order a set of these. I had picked up non-named brand previously but those didnt seem to work well with my machine. I returned those and spent a dollar or so more to have the Brother bobbins. Using these bobbins gives me the peace of mind that my machine will stay in good working order. Brother is certainly going to make a product that can work well with their machine. Pros: Works like a charm and I am super happy! Cons: None I would buy these and will probably buy more very soon!

Ive tried generic class 15 bobbins from a local store on my Brother CS6000i, but they had two problems: 1. The notch was a little large, so they did not lock solidly on to the winding mechanism. When winding a bobbin and it starts to get full, the thread tension can change, causing the generic bobbin to slip on the shaft. The result looks a lot like the dont use bobbins wound like this from your sewing machine manual. The genuine Brother bobbins lock solidly, dont slip, and wind properly. 2. The bobbin was slightly loose in the bobbin case (the part of the machine where the bobbin is while sewing.) This was a much bigger problem, because it caused the thread to jump out of the tensioning spring after a few stitches. The machine would still sew, but not well since the tension was out of balance. With the genuine Brother bobbins, the thread stays on the correct path, and the machine works the way its supposed to.

Good value and glad to have extras I hand. Fits my Brother sewing machine. Next day delivery was nice.

Much better than the off brand that I bought.

Exactly what I need for my cs3000i

Dont buy the knock-offs. They wont be the same size or thickness. I stick with these, and never have issues.
