Slickbald Posted June 15, 2010 Report Posted June 15, 2010 Hey Folks! I'm out of pre-wound bobbins for my boss and am considering having a lot made. 15 dozen is the minimum. Considering I'm hoping to upgrade and use the Boss as a backup, that means I'm buying a "lifetime" of these, or going into the pre-wound bobbin business. At a raw cost of $0.51 per bobbin, would (you) buying them at $9 a dozen be a worthwhile convenience/value? I am negotiating a better price, and will shop around; this is the local place. Anyway! I'm needing your thoughts and opinions! Thanks! ;o})> Quote
Members particle Posted June 15, 2010 Members Report Posted June 15, 2010 This is probably a dumb question, but what are the bobbins made out of? Disposable wood? I'm not interested in buying them, but just curious as I've never heard of buying pre-wound bobbins. Quote

Very standard in industrial applications, which is why the order quantity is so high. Quote
