bobbins for a baby bull/mach1 machine

[esantoro]

I don't see any reason why bobbins for a baby bull/mach1 machine (though they are lower capacity) won't work in a juki 441 clone as long as they spin freely in the case. I'm currently using a few without any problem, but just wanted to run it by the group to check.

Hi Ed,

I don't think it will jam anything, however the tension might vary as you sew, or it might not feed bobbin and and usually break the thread. I guess you could try, there are always going to be pioneers.

Hi Art,

I still have some prewound bobbins from my Baby Bull and want to use up that thread in my numerous current experimentations. These bobbins seem to work fine, but it seems that even the slightest change alters how the 441 clone works.

Merry Christmas,

Here's a twist on that old saying about fishing:

I bad day experimenting with a heavy-stitcher is better than working.

There's something exciting about learning the in's and out's of a powerful machine and growing attuned to its personality.

Ed,

Then we got to get you a Campbell or a Union. A bad day with a Union Lockstitch can indeed be a bad day.

Just thought I'd report back that there doesn't seem to be any difference in tension between these two bobbins.
