Are You Selecting The Right Bobbin For Your Machine? - Trim Engineering Services

While sewing machine bobbins are a very tiny part
of the system, they play one of the most
important roles in the sewing procedure. A single
bobbin can hold almost 60 yards of threads on
it, so you can imagine how efficient and useful
this tiny little element can be! Let us learn
more about this amazing little asset in this blog.
Bobbin types Even though being tiny, bobbins are
not designed in only a single style. There is a
variety of sewing machine bobbins available in
the market like A-style, L-style, M-style, and
many more. And, every machine requires a
different kind of bobbin. So, you need to check
the owners manual that came with your sewing
machine to know the exact kind of bobbin that
will suit your machine. A wrong bobbin can mess
up things so avoid using one. In fact, even if
you think of swapping your metal bobbins with
plastic ones, or vice versa, no matter how
similar in shape and size they may be, hold on!
You are not supposed to do that! Every machine
has a different tension setting with precise
measurements. The tension required for a light
plastic bobbin varies from that required for a
heavy metal one so swapping your bobbin
material will make a mess. Bobbin
materials Speaking of bobbin material, there are
various materials bobbins can be made of, apart
from the regular plastic and metal. The list
includes rosewood, olive wood, boxwood, ivory,
bamboo, coral, glass, walnut, and malachite. So,
whichever material you are planning to use,

check for its compatibility with your machine
first. Go through your user manual, or get in
touch with a sewing machine and bobbin
professional. Bobbin thread tension Just as we
mentioned above, every different machine has a
different tension setting and every bobbin type
requires a different tension. So, let us learn
about how tight or loose you should wind your
bobbin. Remember that both tight and loose
bobbins can create problems. Very tightly wound
bobbins can make the thread stretch or bobbin
bulge. And, loosely wound bobbins wont be able
to perform the sewing functionality. So, to avoid
having compressed distorted plastic bobbin, or
metal bobbin jumps, make sure you have your
bobbins wound with just the perfect tension
setting. After all, the tension of bobbin thread
is of utmost importance in any process, may it be
sewing, knitting, or weaving. So, adjust the
thread tension at an appropriate level, and make
sure to maintain it throughout the
process. Bobbins pre-wound or unwound? Today,
pre-wound bobbins are available in the market
that offers a smooth and uniformly wound thread
over the bobbin beforehand. This helps save time
that you would otherwise have to invest in
winding the thread. However, pre-wound bobbins
are expensive, and may not always provide you
with the colours you wish to use. So, whether you
want to use pre- wound bobbins or unwound ones
is entirely your choice, depending upon your
preference. You can get in touch with Trim
