This machine has special bobbins (I had a 430 and have 100 bobbins for that one!) so I phoned my local sewing machine shop, no they did not have it instock, but they could order it, it would only take 4 weeks, so I decided to order it direct from the Bernina shop online. I searched every where all bobbins were there except for the 730. So I phoned them. When I told them the problem they said (and you could hear in their voice, onather one that can't look properly) You must look under bobbins and find the right one, so I told him I had the page open and there were many that said not suitable for the 730 but not one that said use for the 730. With a sigh he said he would look. After a few minutes he humbled down and asked me to phone back in 5 minutes while he mad some enquiries. When phoning back he apologised and said they had forgotten to mention the 730 . He has now ordered them and I am waiting to see when they arrive!

You can also use any L size prewound. I have used both the plastic and the cardboard side. The plastic are rewindable, but do not try to rewind a cardboard sided ones. I had a major disaster! I have bought bobbins from Allnet.net, Shoppers Rule.com, Longcreekmills.com and EmbStore.com. I am sure others can name other places to check. One of those sites offers a sample pk of several types so you can test stitch before you buy. I also have a Bernina 730E and Bernina 185E and both machines take the same bobbin. Good luck!! Kay
