Are prewound bobbins OK to use in my machine? Will using them void my warranty?
Prewound bobbins are OK to use on your machine. The horror stories we hear about are not with the bobbin, but with the quality of thread. As with other products, there is large range of quality in bobbin thread. If you found a bargain on the Internet for a huge box of prewound bobbins for $9.00, you will probably get a very low quality, linty, loosely twisted thread that will do more harm than good. Although we often hear stories of customers being told that using prewounds will void their warranty, that is not true. That would be like saying using a low-octane gasoline will void your car warranty or using inexpensive film will void the camera warranty. The results will most likely not be what you wanted, but it won’t void the warranty unless it is clearly stated in owner’s manual or on the warranty card. By choosing good quality over fantastic Internet bargains, you will make sure your machine will operate as intended and stay in good condition.
