These bobbins are specifically designed for sewing machines that use rotary bobbin hooks and double rotary bobbin hooks.
How many bobbins are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 3 Prym Metal Bobbins.

Follow your sewing machine's instructions for bobbin winding, ensuring the thread guide is correctly positioned and the bobbin is centered on the winder spindle.
What is the advantage of metal bobbins over plastic ones?
Metal bobbins offer increased durability and a longer service life due to their robust material composition, providing more consistent performance over time.
Troubleshooting
Bobbin thread is not feeding evenly
Ensure the bobbin is wound correctly and placed properly in the bobbin case. Check for any lint or debris obstructing the thread path and clean the bobbin case area.
Bobbin spins loosely or unevenly
Verify that the bobbin is fully seated and that the thread is correctly guided through the tension spring of the bobbin case. Make sure the bobbin size is appropriate for your machine's bobbin case.
Bobbin unwinds too quickly or tangles
Check that the thread is secured at the end of the winding process and that the bobbin is not overfilled. Ensure the thread is being pulled from the bobbin smoothly without snagging.
