I have about 75 M bobbins ( aluminum ) that I would be willing to give to one of you ( FREE ) if you wind your own bobbins and are in need of them. They are the solid bobbins similar to these:

If your interested let me know.

Mike:

I will send you some. I don't have to wind them for you before I ship them do I  :)

I use the slotted bobbins for my Juki and Chandler. I hate these solid ones. The dexterity in my fingers is so bad now I have a hard time getting the thread started on the solid ones.

Lo:

They wont fit your machines. They are the large M bobbins. :(

Chris,

Wouldn't-cha know ... probably would have only asked for a dozen too! Oh well, does make me realize I ought to add another item to my 'when not busy to do list'. Thanks anyways ... will continue to 'make do' for now  :)

Hey Chris,
  I know you wanted to give all of them to one person but 75 bobbins are a bit more than your average bear can handle. I'd take a dozen off your hands. Would even pick them up or send postage to you.

Not me. I hate the old "2 bobbin/wind-as-you-go" system:

I will go ahead and split them then between Mike and Paul.

Paul, I will make arrangements with you to come up to the house and pick them up. I wanted you to look at this chair I am going to re-do along with the leather and give me some pointers.

Mike I will send yours to you. PM me your mailing address as I lost it. Sorry. :(

That's a lot of bobbins  :o

I am ok with the wind as you go thanks. That is until the blasted thing doesn't stop  :'(
Only happens from time to time so I guess I can live with it.
