Distinctive 10-Pack of Style SA-156 Premium Sewing Machine Bobbins Made to Fit Brother Sewing Machines

A few weeks ago I purchased a set of feet (edge binding and stitch in the ditch) off Amazon for about $6. That other foot looks absolutely identical to this one. No visible distinction. But... it already broke 3 needles before I realized that the other foot was just ever-so-slightly too loose where it attached to the shank,so the foot presses against the needle as it comes down. Until the needle just doesn't clear the foot, and snap! When I opened this new 'Distinctive' foot and compared the two, initially I was irked at how identical they look. But when I put the foot on my machine, its perfect. There is zero wiggle. Not on the attachment point and not on the guide itself. It snaps on easily, it is calibrated perfectly, and the Distinctive foot is 100% worth the extra couple bucks. Don't fall for the 'but I can get 2 or even 3 feet for half of what this one costs' logic. You will likely regret it. I haven't sent the other foot back (tho I should) because the other foot in that set works well enough and I don't need it often. Plus, the hassle isn't worth the amount I paid. But I am glad I decided to pursue the more expensive name brand option. This foot will last me a lifetime and it certainly isn't that expensive. I will not hesitate to purchase from the Distinctive brand again. Finally, I am making bias tape (sew tedious 😆) and decided to try out the new foot. Turns out that with the needle in the left hand position the guide is perfect for stitching the tape together. This is the cleanest bias I have ever made. The foot stays aligned perfectly, slides this cotton lawn over the dogs perfectly, and the needle clears sufficiently. Its perfect. Great product!

Great set! 7 pieces. All function as intended. Great for experienced or beginner in sewing or quilting. All the necessary feet. 1/4" foot is exactly 1/4" from the inside edge of stitching to the outside edge of fabric, with needle in center position. Put the needle to the right and you've got a beautiful scant 1/4". Fabric moves equally under the dual feed foot. Quality product. I will definitely be checking out what else this seller has and buy from them again!

UPDATE 4/25: After my original review Mr. Vac & Mrs. Sew called me up and helped me walk through installing and using my bobbin case. It was installed correctly but thread was immediately bunching around the case when I would sew. Even though it was past my Return Timeline they decided to send me out another bobbin case sure that it would work with my Brother SE-400. They tested the bobbin case to make sure it worked before sending it my way and sent the sample embroidery stitch out along with it. I was very hopeful as I popped it into my machine and VIOLA! IT WORKS! Thank you so much for replacing the defective bobbin case even though you did not have to. I will order from your company again! Thanks again! UPDATE: 4/14 - The company very graciously has decided to send me a replacement bobbin case even though it was outside of my return timeline. I am VERY appreciative of that and I am hoping that all of these other reviewers are correct and somehow I just ended up with a defective product :) I will update again once the replacement is here and I have had a chance to try it out. I'm hopeful and excited! ORIGINAL REVIEW: I purchased this bobbin case so I could have one bobbin meant just for shirring fabric (since the bobbin case tension needs to be adjusted,) and one for all other projects. I received it in Feb. but hadn't had the chance to get back to sewing until March (so some of this is my own fault for not testing it as soon as it came in.) I put it in my machine without changing anything to try it out (I had planned on leaving the tension alone on this one, using it as my main bobbin case, since I had already adjusted the tension on my other case multiple times)... my upper thread does nothing but bunch around it as soon as I start to sew. And I don't mean just a little, either. I am glad I tested it with scrap fabric because it ate a hole in it. I put my old bobbin case back in (kept thread, tension, everything else the same) and works just fine. I tried it again to make sure but the same thing happened. So either I received a defect bobbin case (my sewing machine model is listed in the machines that it works with) or this bobbin does not actually work with the Brother SE-400. I also was leery that it felt so much flimsier and lighter than the original bobbin case (though I cannot attest to that affecting the function at all.)

I have a Brother machine and this fit perfectly. There are instructions inside the package to help if you've never used a pintuck foot before. I used this to make pintucks on a doll's blouse and they turned out perfect. I would buy this brand and from this seller again.

Took a while to work out if I had a low or high shank machine - got there in the end and the foot fits both my machines.

Merci

This was a great purchase and addition. I use it all the time. Makes getting that perfect 1/4” seam a breeze. Wish I had this sooner.

Good quality product. It seemed a bit expensive but it is worth the price.
