Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between M-class and Class 15 bobbins?
M-class (M-style) is the large bobbin used by most longarm machines -- more thread capacity per bobbin for fewer changes mid-quilt. Class 15 (L-size in some catalogues) is the standard home sewing machine size. Check your machine manual before ordering; the two are not interchangeable.
Why do Magna-Glide bobbins have a magnetic core?
The magnetic core provides consistent, self-regulating tension as the bobbin unwinds -- it eliminates backlash spin and the tension drift that ordinary pre-wounds develop as they empty. The result is more uniform stitches from a full bobbin to an empty one.
Do I need to match bobbin colour to my top thread?
Not exactly -- match the bobbin to the backing fabric tone, not the top thread. Neutral greys like Titanium blend across a wide range of backings, which is why it's the most-ordered colour; strong contrasts between top and bobbin only show if tension is off.
