My machine came with a pre-wound M bobbin from Superior. You are suppose to take the cardboard off before inserting. I don't know about using other manufacturers M bobbins.

Handiquilter recommends using the "M" class bobbin that we send out with the machine.

On another forum that I participate, there are several HQ16 owners that do use the other bobbins and like them. I'm thinking of purchasing some and trying them out.

Personally, I think the HQ16 bobbins are a bit expensive and way too many times have I gotten them already warped. At over $3 a bobbin, plus my dealer being 60 miles one way, that adds up to some money!

I use the ones with the holes in the sides and like them better then the HQ16 ones. Every one of them fit on the bobbin winder nice a snug, all the HQ16 ones were either to tight to slip on the bobbin winder or to loose. i had to adjust all the time. Also easier to insert the thread end through when winding. Bigger holes for older eyes!

Handi Quilter recommends that you use the bobbins that came with your machine. After you have used a few bobbins you will have an idea of how much thread is left on it just by looking at it.
