Product Information
Full details
The Hemline Bobbin Storage Box (H156) is an essential tool for sewing enthusiasts and professionals looking to organize their thread collection. It offers a secure, portable way to keep up to 28 bobbins in place, featuring a transparent lid for instant inventory checks and soft foam inserts that prevent unwinding. While the box is highly durable and spill-proof, it is important to note that the internal storage is specifically sized for standard bobbins, meaning larger industrial bobbins may not fit comfortably.

FAQs
Does this box include bobbins?
No, the Hemline Bobbin Storage Box is sold as a storage container only; bobbins are not included.
Will this fit metal bobbins?
Yes, the foam inserts are compatible with standard plastic and metal bobbins of typical domestic sewing machine dimensions.
Can I fit 28 bobbins of any size?
The box is designed for standard domestic bobbins. Larger industrial or oversized bobbins may not fit the 28 provided slots.
Is the box waterproof?
The box is designed to be spill-proof, meaning the lid stays secure, but it is not sealed against water submersion.
Are the foam inserts removable?
No, the foam inserts are permanently installed within the box to ensure long-term stability for your bobbins.
Troubleshooting
Bobbin fits too tightly in the foam slot
Gently stretch the foam cutout or press the bobbin in at a slight angle to allow the foam to conform to the bobbin shape.
Latches feel difficult to open
Ensure no thread tails are caught in the latch mechanism, then apply even pressure to the center of the latch tab when releasing.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply press your bobbins into the individual foam slots. To maintain the box, wipe the exterior with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may cloud the transparent plastic lid over time. Ensure the unit is stored away from direct sunlight to prevent the foam from becoming brittle. The case is compatible with most standard domestic sewing machine bobbins (Class 15, L, etc.).
