I keep modern, good-quality metal bobbins for 66k, 99k, 201k, 15k Singers (see below) and I always have some bobbins and shuttles for older and more obscure machines. I prefer not to supply the latter for machines that are not being used - if you just want to put it on the shelf and admire it, please do not order "extras"..
If you have a particular need, please be precise - machine model number, length and width of bobbins, type of shuttle etc..
I also have shuttle adjustment keys, bobbin cases, and hooks....

Modern Bobbins

15 type bobbins
0500 Singer 15 class bobbins - fit 15 type Singer, Bernina, some industrial Singers (31 class), and many other machines. If your machine has a removable bobbin case these are almost certainly the ones...
£1 for 4
The bobbins I have at present come pre-wound with polyester thread - please ask if you want particular colours
66/99 type bobbins
0501 66/99 type bobbins. If your machine has a drop-in bobbin this is probably it..
£1 for 4

I can get most types of industrial bobbins, but I need a precise model number for your machine (and its age, if you can) and they may have to be ordered. Try your local man first...
