Bobbin compatibility family

Source-local requirement

This groups exact wording from this manufacturer only. It does not claim that similarly named bobbins from another brand are interchangeable.

Janome J plastic bobbin for horizontal hook machines

Source-local family: Janome J plastic horizontal-hook family

Use J plastic bobbins; other/pre-wound paper bobbins may damage the holder; do not use easy or metal bobbins.

Do not substitute: The OEM source explicitly preserves the restriction above.
