I've always free motioned (20+ quilts) with my regular bobbin case. It needs replacing. What is the difference between this and standard one?

It is my understanding that it creates less tension on the bottom. I've quilted many many quilts with the regular bobbin case as well. Its my belief this low tension case gives better results

I don't think there is a difference. I think both will fit a standard machine.

I'm sorry, but I use this for storing all sizes of household batteries, not for sewing items. To me it looks like the back half would hold more than 20 spools of thread and then you still have the front half which would hold way more than just bobbins, if we are talking about the same size bin that I bought.

I'm sorry, but I am not certain. I had a difficult time finding bobbins for my Bernina "Anniversary Edition" model. Finally found a great sewing store in suburban Chicago that had proper Bernina supplies. I ordered a pack of bobbins through an Amazon seller but the bobbins were too thick for my machine.

sorry i can't help you. I bought it for my Elna and a small Brother (my go to class machine and I like it) but it doesn't fit either. It was a screw size and I couldn't get it off to try a larger size.; no hole on the Brother. I have macular and i am looking for all kinds of help for sewing straight seams. Interesting I asked Vking and other dealers and they didn't know anything about it. Bernina has a complicated one and very expensive and it probably won't fit. A famous quilt designer and artist Patrick Lose on a youtube video used his and the site had a disclaimer on it and said they had so many inquiries that said to check your dealer. HA! non know anything.

When you are taking out the case with the bobbin inside, you are holding the case by an open latch. Close the latch back unto the case, and the bobbin should come out easy. If it doesn't then something maybe is wrong.

I bought a Brother Project Runway 70 decorative stitches from Amazon. Do not know the part number but the bobbin fits. there is not a lot of thread on the spool but the prewound bobbin, the bobbin itself with the matching thread was a pretty good deal I thought

I don't know if all brothers are the same so make sure you check with your manual to confirm. On my machine I have to take off the presser foot and unscrew and take off the presser foot holder. The quilting foot fits to the left side facing out where the longest part of the eyelet is horizontal. Then just screw it in to tighten. To make sure your threads lock pull your working thread through the quilting foot, top to bottom.

I bought these for my sewing machine that takes a 15J and they seem more like the bobbins that go in my 15 machine. Both bobbins are interactive but there is a slight height difference. If you have a fenicy machine that needs the exact bobin then you do not want to use these. I even found two bobbins that were not the same as the rest of the pack in height. I am not fimular with a 1144 but I am a 4411 which would work fine with these. I find these bobbins more a 15 then a 15J.

I used it on brothers bobbins. I did not read it well and they do not work for brothers. They told me at the fabric store that it takes the large bobbins. So I have two pkgs just sitting there.

To answer your question I "test opened" each several times and I don't notice a difference in the strength of the hinge but more would be the distance you have to open each (the green would be used for higher loft batting and/or several layers of lower loft batting use). Honestly, I only use the green ones to hold freezer template pieces or fabric blocks together for transport to class! The red ones I use all the time for holding binding and mitered corners prior to stitching (2 1/2" binding, low loft Quilter's Dream cotton and 1/2 layer Hobb's wool batting. I also use Schamber's Elmer's Glue technique, so figure there is a layer of dried glue as well). They are stiffer than a clothespin and but not as stiff as a medium Accuclip for paper. I would suggest that you find a quilter or quilt shop that has one so you can try it - I know arthritis can make some things difficult. I hope this helps.

I had one made for my table and think it is a Gidget 1 table, it has the lift function in it. My machine has an open arm so I need lift, and I had the Arrow insert made. You just give them your sewing machine make and model and they customize the insert to fit. Unfortunately I have not been able to set up my machine, table or use the insert yet but I did this with my other machine and sewing cabinet and it works great.

The cut out area is 3 1/4" wide x 8 3/8" plus that extra little cut out area in the front of 1 3/4 x 3 1/2" approx. The opening slides around the piece of my Janome "Harmone 8080" sewing machine that holds the bobbin (the bed) but there is a gap of about 2 1/2" on the left because it can't slide all the way. There is also a gap in the front of 1 3/4" x 3 1/2" because the shape of the sewing machine is different from the felting machine. Still for the price I think it's worth it and the gaps don't cause me any trouble and I've been using it regularly since I bought it a few years ago.

You can use regular spools and wind the bobbin with anything. It does reverse. The only thing wrong with this is the noise. And starting the seam is tricky because it pulls the thread out of the needle if you don't hold the thread.

I have used the thread in my bobbin. It works great. It's thicker than some of the other thread (Aurifil) I use for quilting which I like. It really is just a matter of preference. I like the colors within the box. Hope this helps.

As described in other answers, your basic attachments, screwdriver, quilt guide, 3 bobbins, and note that the cover is a cloth cover. Unless you plan to leave your machine out, you might want to purchase a hard case for the machine. I did that, and it was only $20, and there is plenty of room for a few other small items, since this machine is not big. Incidentally, I love this little machine.

these are generic bobbins and dont fit snuggly in machine. i have a different brother and bought these because they said they were the same style. they made an awful noise rattling in my machine and my stitches were less even. refer to your machine's manual and buy name brand. its worth it
