AllStitch Magnetic-Core Pre-Wound Bobbins: Style L Options Compared

Updated

AllStitch sells Style L sideless magnetic-core pre-wound bobbins in white, and the main difference between the listings is pack size and yardage per bobbin rather than the bobbin type itself. If you are choosing between them, pick based on how many bobbins your production volume consumes and whether the slightly higher yardage of the 12-pack matters for your workflow.

What the AllStitch bobbin listings have in common

Both current listings describe the same core product family:

  • Style L format
  • Sideless magnetic-core construction
  • White thread
  • Pre-wound and positioned for production embroidery

The product description states these bobbins are "engineered for production embroidery," so the intended user is someone running repeated stitching jobs rather than occasional single projects.

Pack size and yardage differences

Listing Pack size Yardage per bobbin Listed price
Sideless Magnetic Core Bobbins – Style L – White 12 bobbins 148 yds $5.55
Sideless Magnetic Core Bobbins – Style L – White 144 bobbins 135 yds $39.95

Two things stand out when you compare them side by side:

  1. Yardage is not identical. The 12-pack lists 148 yards per bobbin, while the 144-pack lists 135 yards per bobbin. If your designs are long or you want fewer bobbin changes per run, that difference is worth noting.
  2. The 144-pack is described as a 100-pack in its product text. The listing title says 144 bobbins, but the descriptive line reads "100-Pack." Treat the title and price as the primary signal and confirm the actual count before ordering if the exact quantity matters to you.

How to choose

  • Small or trial runs: the 12-bobbin pack at $5.55 lets you test compatibility and stitch quality without committing to bulk.
  • Production or multi-machine use: the 144-bobbin pack at $39.95 lowers the per-bobbin cost, but check the yardage figure against your typical design length.
  • Machines that take Style L: confirm your machine or bobbin case uses Style L before buying either pack. Style L is a specific bobbin format, and a sideless magnetic-core bobbin still has to match your machine's requirements.

Practical checks before you add to cart

  • Verify your machine accepts Style L bobbins.
  • Decide whether 148 yds vs. 135 yds per bobbin changes how often you stop to reload.
  • Confirm the actual bobbin count in the larger listing, since the title and description disagree.
  • Check current pricing and availability on the product page, as the figures above reflect the listed prices at the time of writing.

AllStitch also notes free shipping when you spend $175 or more, which may affect whether a single large bobbin pack or a combined order makes more sense for you.
