Constabulary Report post Posted September 7, 2015 I think Singer 111, 153 or Consew 226, 227 type bobbins are the ones I think. Afaik the clones of these machines are using the same bobbins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrmCa Report post Posted September 7, 2015 There is manufacturer's email address at the end of the instruction manual: http://www.supsew.com/KnowledgeBaseArtefacts/Documents/Highlead/GC22618%20instruction%20manual%20&%20parts%20catalog.pdf They should be able to answer your question.

Uwe Report post Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) I once found a handy bobbin reference chart (See attached file) Comparing your bobbin's measurements to the chart should allow to determine which bobbin style to order. At least the manual tells you the take-up lever stroke with 1/10th millimeter precision, lol, which seems like super useless info compared to bobbin size. Some thread suppliers also have a bobbin reference. The Thread Exchange has a bobbin reference chart for pre-wound bobbins - the dimensions should be very close to the real bobbins. Here's the bobbin style chart which you can print to scale and then just lay your bobbin on it to find your bobbin style: Bobbin Selection Information.pdf Edited September 8, 2015 by Uwe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregg From Keystone Sewing Report post Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Same bobbin as 111W155, Consew 227R, Seiko CW-8B. Common bobbin for many various single and double needle lockstitch industrial, also known as a prewound bobbin "G" Edited September 8, 2015 by Gregg From Keystone Sewing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
