zeke Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hey kids. Anyone out there in the wonderful land of quilting tired of storing those old or not using metal ( not smart bobbins ) bobbins with the wholes on one side. If so, I'll take them. Text me or call or e-mail. 916-689-4992 or ztrbrg@yahoo.com. thanks. Zeke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbams Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Zeke, you don't mean the aluminum bobbins, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 That's correct, not the aluminum. The "L" class or size bobbins. Sorry about the mix up. I should have clarified myself. Zeke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachside Quilter Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 I've got some Zeke! I have your address; will send them next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbams Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 No problem, Zeke. I'm not home this weekend, so I couldn't compare your description to my supply. I have aluminum bobbins if anyone wants them. They don't work well in my Turbo Bobbin Winder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InesR Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 No problem, Zeke. I'm not home this weekend, so I couldn't compare your description to my supply. I have aluminum bobbins if anyone wants them. They don't work well in my Turbo Bobbin Winder. I am just starting and have had success winding my bobbins. (isnt that crazy that the bobbin wonder does not have an on/off switch.... I still jump when it takes off with my fingers touching it...). But, back to what you said, I would love to have some of your bobbins that you are no longer using. Let me know what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I have heard of some people that plug there bobbin winders into a power barthen turn the power bar switch off , then you can put you bobbin in flip the thing that winds the bobbin and just turn on the switch on the power bar. I hope this helps you out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyJude Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I could use some of the same bobbins if you want to get rid of any of them. L aluminum bobbins with the little slit in the side. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iquiltit Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 You can get them from sharp sewing parts, on e-bay, really reasonably priced I have used them for years.In his description it says the will fit APQS machines. Also they sell M bobbins for Gammill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbams Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 OK, now I'm feeling really dumb. It turns out that I like aluminum bobbins, and don't like the metal ones. That's what I get for talking about stuff while I'm up north, 230 miles away from the items in question. Sorry InesR and Sharon, I need to hold on to my aluminum bobbins. They're actually the only ones that work well in my bobbin winder. Zeke, you can have my steel bobbins if you still want them. I'm going to wipe the egg off my face now . . .

brake Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Not to take any steel bobbins from any one else, but if there are a lot out there, I could use some as well. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeke Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'll still take the ones you don't use anymore. Zeke. Let me know if you need my address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I had an old sewing machine that died, it had a power cord with an outlet on it hooked to a foot pedal. it works great for the bobbin winders, you can adjust the speed, start and stop with the foot pedal.
