A sewing bobbin is a small spool of thread that goes underneath the needle and sewing platform. It provides the lower thread for the sewing machine. Different models of machines use different bobbins, but most machines require you to create the bobbin yourself.
If you'd like to see a picture of a typical sewing machine bobbin, visit the "related link" below.
If you look at a diagram of the way a sewing machine works, you can see that when the needle goes down to the bobbin, the bobbin thread is pushed around the upper thread, and that is how the two pieces of fabric are joined together.
The upper thread goes along the top of the seam, and the bobbin thread goes along the bottom of the seam.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but if it is "WHAT IS a sewing machine bobbin?" then I can help. The sewing machine bobbin is the round "wheel" like part that holds the thread under the sewing needle. In the older machines it was metal, and in the newer machines it is mainly plastic.
