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. Mostly, these bobbins are not interchangeable from one machine to the next. Each sewing machine brand requires its' own specific bobbin. Without the bobbin (with thread on it!) a machine is unable to sew.

Every sewing machine that I have owned always had a bobbin. If I'm correct, even serger and overlock machines have bobbins. The bobbin has the thread on it that comes from underneath the fabric and connects the thread together to make the stitch with the thread that comes from the top, or from the spool of thread.

Yes, you still need a sewing machine, as the overlock machine is designed simply to finish the edges of the fabric. Overlock machines do not go backwards, turn, zigzag, or anything stitch functions that you may need (depending on what you are sewing) You do not absolutely need a sewing machine if it's a quick and easy project (such as a repair, or a pillow), but for everyday use, you need both.
