    Default Rite bobbins

    Anyone have any experience with the Rite bobbins? I was wondering if they are worth the extra price.

    I have one of the standard models. Its nice and its cost isnt that much more than a top quality "standard" bobbin and almost the same as one thats jeweled. Thread tension is great on them though...easily adjustable

    I have one I use for certain threads. Pros: adjustable tension, smooth operation. Cons: much slower to change spools, one sided frame takes some getting used to.

    This bobbin is smooth. I have one and I agree with Jay on the one-sided frame issue. I have to hold the bobbin with the frame against my ring and pinky fingers instead of against the base of my thumb or else my middle finger whacks the thread as I turn it. Tension is excellent.
    I think, therefore I fish.

    They are absolutely wonderful! I acquired one here a couple months ago and will never use a "normal" bobbin as my "go to" again. Smooth like butter.
