Well, I have to admit that I have A LOT of bobbins . . . 252 to be exact. I have 127 for my Bernina B480 & B790 PRO and 125 bobbins for my B880+. I used to have a B500, but traded that in some time ago. I have made a lot of free standing lace and in-the-hoop items for which I used the same colors in top and bobbin. I also experiment with different thread brands, types, and weights. Keeping track of what I have wound on each bobbin has become a challenge. Yesterday I sorted through all my bobbins and rearranged them in labeled containers. It’s a journey that seems to go on and on. Please don’t ask how many needles I own. 🙂
I have plenty of bobbin and several of the donut bobbin holders. Last Christmas I was given a tin of Ikea biscuits. The tin is the perfect size to hold the donut bobbin holders to keep the dust off them.
I have a lot... maybe 25 for one machine. What stops me having more is running out of places to store them. I need extra ones for coloured thread. I use them mainly for applique and FMQ practice. I committed to sewing seams as much as I can in either black, navy off white, light blue/grey or pink. I am hoping to downsize my thread "collection".
I am a bobbin lover. I only work with bobbins in my projects. I keep the spools as bobbin fillers. I have around 200 bobbins. I like to work with smaller portions of thread. With my serger I'm forced to work with spools.
Does the Simplicity Side Winder work with the Bernina Jumbo bobbins? I have 10 bobbins and I have pulled off thread so I could use some more :) Thank you! Love all your tips and tricks. I have learned so much from your videos.
I have a bobbin in each different spool of thread I have for each machine. Luckily the Singer and Brother use the same bobbin. The Pfaff 720 tho, not. My quilt store gives me a good discount for a time frame after buying a new machine from them so I bought about 5 packages of bobbins when I got the Pfaff. I also learned a long time ago to only buy bobbins from the manufacturer. No after market cheapos. Luckily my thread rack has room for two bobbins under the thread on each prong so I can keep them all together. Your videos are the best!
I like to have between 10 and 20 empty bobbins for each of my machines, so I buy more as the time goes on as I fill them with thread. I do pull off thread if I have a low bobbin, it is frustrating to run out even with sensors.
Well, on my old machine that I just traded in, I had over 100! Including the 50 I had with prewound bobbin thread! Yes I used almost all of them. 😂 For the new machine, I think I have aprx 16!
About 200. I buy prewound so I am always getting new empties. I have three of those round bobbin holders. Also 125 sideless pre-wounds for my embroidery machine.
Well I’m not sure but I have four of the red bobbin holder. None are full but they are 100% cotton, polyester thread. I have my embroidery bobbins are stored in the plastic case which holds 12 bobbins. If i were to guess, I have close to 200 bobbins. I also have empty ones as well.
50-60. I embroidery a lot of FSL, mostly Christmas ornaments. 20 to 30 for my primary sewer. I own Bernina 700 Emb only and 830 LE which does both. Didn’t count my 830 Record, yet another type of Bobbin.
I have 80 bobbins maybe more .. for one Machine😂😂😂 i have too have 6 bobbins for each color of thread i have and have 30 embroidery bobbins thread at all times…. I don’t have time to stop in the middle of something just to tread more bobbins 😂😂😂

YOU are a lady after my own heart! 😂
I have over 100 for my old machine and more than 50 for the IDT.
For the new machine: 16! 😂

25 for my B790. I am always tempted to buy more. I had many more when I had a machine with smaller, less expensive bobbins.

I have lots! 20 class 15, 15 class 66 & 50 Singer Futura bobbins.

Just bought a B790pro- I only have 10 bobbins now😳. I had over 40 bobbins when I owned a different brand!
Enough so that you don't have to use one up to start a new project. I have a way to go to fill up the empties before that happens.
thanks for sharing! happy sewing!
Bernina 570QE. I have 33 bobbins. Most are still empty, tho. Black, ecru, and white.
you are set!
At least 50 for each of my two machines. They each use a different type of bobbin.
20 for my 830LE.
I have 25 bobbins for my 570QE. I have 25 because the storage case I have holds that many.😊
LOL! That sounds like the perfect amount!
