I am going to order some thread from Metro, just a few to see if my machine likes it.....I do not know which bobbin to order for my 780D brother. The ones I buy at my dealer are thicker than the ones I use on my White and the ones for the white are called nebs..... Do any of you that own a 780D know which bobbin I need?

I have never opaid for a bobbin is ALL of my yrs with embroidery!! I have a singer XL1000 which was my first machine and a BabyLock Esante and a BabyLock Ellageo. The babyLock Dealer where I get all of my supplies has always kept me in bobbins...even for my Singer. Everytime I walked through the doors to purchase anything, they would fill a small brown bag full of bobbins for the Babylocks and one for my Singer, of which I purchased elsewhere. Of course, I bought tons of designs and even more Sulky thread. That happens to be my favorite and it works great in all 3 machines. I have no idea what type bobbins I use and have had embroidery machines for more yrs than I like to admit. My dealer no longer carries the BabyLock brand but carries all kinds of supplies for most brands. Mark Brannum and all of his employees are just great with all of their customers. His Store is in North Agusta, Ga. Since I moved almost 4 yrs ago, I have not been back because it is too far away when there are BabyLock Dealers much closer in the greater Atlanta area. I sure do miss the friendly personel and the conviences they allowed me. If I did not have time to go get what I needed, I would just call them and it would be overnighted to me. I never had a single problem with them. When I get my machines serviced again, I am sure that I will drive the distance with all of them. I did get a local to work on my machine a few months ago and he cleaned it for free and it turned out to be a minor problem(my son tried to work on it). I just plain got lucky on that mistake! As long as I keep my senses about me, my son will never touch any of them again!!!!!!!! I did not have my favorite machine during the Christmas Season last yr! I have finally decided to try and sell my Singer XL100 locally. It is the oldest but the least used. I have always liked the BabyLock's more!
