Sewing machine bobbins may be small, but choosing the correct bobbin makes a big difference to your sewing experience. Whether you sew on a domestic or industrial sewing machine, using the right bobbin helps improve stitch quality, maintain reliable thread tension and keep your projects running smoothly.

At Chris Lucas Designs, you’ll find sewing machine bobbins, storage cases and organisers designed to help keep your sewing room organised and ready for your next creative project.

Why Choosing the Right Bobbin Matters

Although many bobbins look similar, sewing machines are designed to use specific bobbin sizes. Using the correct bobbin helps your machine feed thread smoothly, produce more consistent stitches and maintain reliable thread tension.

• Designed to fit specific sewing machine models.
• Helps maintain consistent stitch quality.
• Supports smooth thread delivery.
• Reduces the risk of tension problems.
• Available for domestic and industrial sewing machines.

Understanding Sewing Machine Bobbin Types

Different sewing machines use different bobbin sizes, so it’s important to choose the correct bobbin for your machine.

Universal Domestic Sewing Machine Bobbins – Class 15

The most common bobbin used in domestic sewing machines, making them ideal for everyday sewing, quilting and craft projects.

Class L Sewing Machine Bobbins

Slightly larger than Class 15 bobbins, Class L bobbins offer increased thread capacity and are commonly used in many straight stitch and semi-industrial sewing machines.

Size M Industrial Sewing Machine Bobbins

Designed for many industrial sewing machines, including walking foot machines, Size M bobbins hold considerably more thread and are a favourite with bag makers, leatherworkers and sewists sewing longer seams or decorative topstitching.

Helpful Tip from Chris

One habit that’s made a big difference in my sewing room is keeping my different bobbin sizes organised separately. I store my Size M industrial bobbins in dedicated bobbin cases, while my Class 15 bobbins are stored in rotating bobbin towers that keep them neat, compact and easy to access.

I also like keeping my favourite Threadsation™ Bag Makers Sewing Thread colours pre-wound onto dedicated bobbins, so they’re always ready for my next project. Having my bobbins organised by size and thread colour means I can spend less time searching and winding bobbins, and more time enjoying the creative process.
