Bobbin Sizing

[Spinner]

Hey Folks, just curious about buying bobbins for my machine. I have the Techsew 2700 and am looking at getting pre-wound bobbins to have on hand for those times when I get busy and can't build up some extras. I've tried searching a few places for the answer and near as I can tell they are size G, similar to the Singer 153W but wanted to confirm before buying them. Most references here on LW.net state "standard industrial size" but most thread places look at you sideways when you ask for that size.

Also, is there any particular reason to buy sideless vs. paper sides? I notice the ones that came with the machine are metal and have metal sides...

Thanks,

Chris

On most machines you can fill a bobbin while your sewing. All of the pre wound bobbins i have ever seen you buy a box full of one color need another color you have buy another box and that's fine if your using that color or the bottom thread wouldn't be seen. If i was you i'd just get some extra regular bobbins and fill them with the tread your using. On my smaller machines i have between 12 and 24 bobbins filled with different color thread plus they don't cost alot.

Thanks dirtclod, I actually do that for my colored threads as I don't use them as often but I use a ton of black so having a box wouldn't be an issue for me.

I think I found the answer yesterday though, looks like it takes a style G bobbin, same as the Singer 153W.

you're right, Spinner. Techsew 2700 uses the singer 153w "G" bobbin.

Let me know if you have any other questions! Enjoy your new machine.
