It depends on the model of the machine. If the bobbin is a top loading drop in bobbin, it's probably a class 66 bobbin. If the bobbin case is down below on the front of the machine, and you take it out to remove the bobbin, it's usually a class 15 bobbin. If you have your manual, it should tell you what bobbin you need. If you don't have your manual, go to managemylife.com, enter your model number. and you should be able to download your manual. On the newer kenmores, the model number is on a plate on the back of the machine, and will start with 385. and continue on. You need to enter the complete number.

Normally most 385.prefix kenmore use class 15 bobbins. If it's a drop in bobbin, they tend to prefer the plastic ones. You can find these at Joann's, Walmart(I just picked up a 4 pack of them at Walmart for 99 cents.) other sewing shops and through sears.com. Your manual should show you which bobbins to use and if you don't have the manual, you can download it at managemylife.com

The Kenmore model 385.1884180 takes a Class 15 bobbin. They recommend plastic, but metal can also be used. Such bobbins are still generally available.

What is a sewing bobbin?

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.


How do you load a front loading bobbin?

I'm assuming you're talking about winding a bobbin on a sewing machine? If so, there is a post similar to the one for thread (near it) that you put the empty bobbin on. Then you put your spool of thread where it goes on the machine. You wind your thread from the spool of thread to the bobbin (there's usually a little chart on your machine, but if not, the thread goes through a hook or two and then you wind it about 4 times around the bobbin (clockwise). In newer machines you then push the bobbin toward a holder type thing that is near it. This disengages the needle from going up and down and lets the machine wind the thread as you push the pedal. On older machines, you have to turn the handle of the machine toward you and it disengages the needle, allowing the bobbin to be filled when you press the pedal. Hope this helps! You could probably google your sewing machine name and how to thread a bobbin and maybe get a diagram.
