Review on DREAMSTITCH XA5539 151 Plastic Embroidery Babylock by Doris Tran

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Doesn't work well in my Elna 2004SP.

This is one of the machines listed and it fits and it matches the stitch but the bobbin tension on these bobbins is too weak. I have to take a screwdriver and tighten the spool holder tension screw very, very hard to get it to sew reasonably properly. This means that the next time I switch to one of my regular spools, I have to loosen the tensioning screw again. It's too much trouble for me. I'm sending it back. Through trial and error I have found class 15 (not a style letter) metal spools that work great.
