FAQs
Can I use these with metal bobbins?
Yes, the Hemline Bobbin Match Mates are fully compatible with standard-sized metal bobbins.
How many pieces are in one package?
Each package contains 12 individual Bobbin Match Mate units.
Will these work with industrial sewing machine bobbins?
No, these are designed for domestic or standard sewing machine bobbins and will not fit larger industrial sizes.
Do I need to store the spools upright?
While they work well in any position, storing your spools upright or on a rack is recommended to keep your workspace organized.
Are the clips reusable?
Yes, the clips are designed to be durable and can be removed and reused whenever you change your thread colors.
Troubleshooting
Bobbin fits too loosely in the holder
Ensure you are using a standard-sized bobbin; if the bobbin is an ultra-slim variant, it may not reach the tension grip of the match mate.
Clip will not snap onto the spool
Verify that your thread spool core is not too large or abnormally shaped, as the clip is designed for industry-standard spool dimensions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Bobbin Match Mates requires no tools. Simply place your standard bobbin into the holding clip and align it with the core of your matching thread spool. Ensure the thread tail from the bobbin is tucked under the clip to keep it secure.
Compatibility: These are compatible with standard-sized metal and plastic bobbins. They are not intended for industrial-sized bobbins or non-standard plastic spools that have very large or very small center holes.
Care Instructions: Keep away from extreme heat sources that might warp the plastic. If dust accumulates, simply wipe the clips with a dry lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners as these may damage the plastic composition.
