never used them, I think you must be sure they must fit in your machine.but if they are a good deal I think it's easy if you embroidering, you can just pick a new bobbin.*4u

Hi!
The paper sided bobbins work very well for me. Never had a problem. Just make sure they fit your machine. I use the "L" model. They also have the "M" I believe. They are wider.
Sometimes they will send you a sample to try, otherwise you shouldn't have any problems.
Happy Stitching!!!

I use paper sided bobbins all the time. I have the Pfaff 2170 and I have to pull off the sides in order for the bobbin sensor to work but they work great. The only time I wind and use plastic is when doing colored FSL because I need the bobbin to match the top thread. There are actually sideless bobbins available and I have used them also when I find a really good deal on them.

Colleen, you have to be careful and make sure that they fit your machine - otherwise you could have some issues. Ask your dealer what they think of them - more than likely - they will let you in on the issues for your machine. I have so many bobbins made for my machine - that I have them loaded in the color that I want - all the time - with about ten/twenty of the bobbin thread, too.

Hi and yes I am using the sideless bobbins and they work well but you need something to put on them when they get very low, my machine comes with a thingy to hold this type into place.

All I ever (just about) use.;) I use Madeira prewound size L and get them from Embroidery.com. You can get white or black. I only wind bobbins if what I'm doing calls for the back to look pretty, too.

Iuse them with no problems. I have a PR600 and a Brother Ellageo and they take them fine. I feel better about not having to toss the plastic. I reuse the plastic for FSL but still have a lot of empty ones. I buy whatever I can get a good deal on.
