Beige Barbob Type G (Box of 50)

Beige Type G Pre-Wound Barbobs, Box of 50

Beige Type G Barbobs are ready-wound bobbins for compatible sewing machines, offering a convenient alternative to winding individual bobbins in the upholstery workroom.

Supplied in a box of 50, they are particularly useful for professional sewing environments where repeated bobbin winding can interrupt production.

Applications can include furniture upholstery, cushion-cover manufacture, soft furnishings, mattress and bedding work and other suitable industrial sewing operations.

see the Sewing Threads & Barbobs range for machine threads and pre-wound bobbins.

Why Use Pre-Wound Bobbins?

Pre-wound bobbins arrive ready for use in a compatible machine, removing the need to transfer thread from a cone onto an empty bobbin before sewing.

For busy upholstery and sewing workrooms this can help:

• Reduce time spent winding bobbins
• Reduce interruptions during repetitive sewing
• Keep replacement bobbins ready beside the machine
• Make colour changes quicker
• Simplify stock control
• Provide a convenient supply for production work

A box of 50 is particularly practical where the same thread colour is used regularly.

Beige Bobbin Thread for Upholstery Work

Beige is a neutral colour that can work well with many light and medium upholstery shades.

It may be useful with:

• Beige upholstery fabrics
• Cream and neutral materials
• Natural-coloured textiles
• Tan shades
• Light patterned fabrics
• Concealed construction seams
• Cushion covers
• Furniture upholstery

The bobbin thread does not always need to be an exact colour match to the upper thread, particularly where the reverse of the seam will remain concealed.

However, thread colour can become visible if the stitch balance is incorrect or the material is relatively thin.

Always test the finished seam from both sides before beginning production work.

For upholstery coverings, browse Status Fabrics' Vinyl & Fabric range.

Check That Your Machine Uses Type G Bobbins

The Type G designation is important.

Type G and Type L pre-wound bobbins are different formats and should not be treated as interchangeable simply because they look similar.

Before ordering, check:

• Sewing-machine manual
• Existing bobbin
• Bobbin-case specification
• Bobbin type
• Overall diameter
• Width
• Fit within the bobbin case

A bobbin that nearly fits is not necessarily compatible and may cause poor sewing performance or problems inside the bobbin case.

If your machine requires Type L, choose Beige Barbob Type L, Box of 50 instead.

Matching the Bobbin Thread to the Upper Thread

The upper thread and bobbin thread work together to form the finished lockstitch.

They do not necessarily need to be identical, but they must operate correctly together within the machine.

When setting up the seam, consider:

• Upper-thread type
• Bobbin-thread type
• Thread colour
• Needle size
• Upper tension
• Bobbin tension
• Material thickness
• Number of fabric layers
• Appearance on both sides

For strong coloured upholstery construction thread, see Somabond 40's Bonded Nylon Sewing Thread.

For an alternative machine thread, M36 PolyCotton Corespun Sewing Thread is available in a wide range of upholstery colours.

Test the complete thread, bobbin, needle and material combination before sewing finished work.

Useful for Cushion & Furniture Production

Pre-wound Type G Barbobs are particularly useful where a sewing machine is being used repeatedly for upholstery production.

Typical work may include:

• Cushion borders
• Furniture covers
• Seat and back cushions
• Zip panels
• Piped seams
• Soft furnishings
• Mattress and bedding components
• General upholstery construction seams

For piped cushion and furniture edges, browse Piping Cords.

For removable cushion covers and upholstered access panels,

Other Type G Barbob Colours

Where beige is not suitable for the material being sewn, There is also other Type G pre-wound bobbin colours.

Choose:

• Black Barbob Type G, Box of 50 for dark upholstery materials
• Brown Barbob Type G, Box of 50 for brown, tan and earthy upholstery shades
• White Barbob Type G, Box of 50 for white and pale materials

Keeping commonly used colours available can reduce unnecessary thread changes and help the workroom select a more appropriate bobbin colour for each job.

Keep Barbobs Clean & Organised

Pre-wound bobbins should be stored in their original box or another clean, divided container until required.

Protect them from:

• Dust
• Adhesive overspray
• Sewing-machine oil
• Loose fibres
• Dirt
• Moisture
• Workshop debris

Keeping Type G and Type L bobbins separately labelled also reduces the risk of the wrong bobbin being placed into a machine.

For routine sewing-machine lubrication, use 125ml Sewing Machine Oil only at the points specified by the machine manufacturer and keep oil away from stored thread and bobbins.

Beige Type G Barbobs supplied as a box of 50 pre-wound bobbins, providing a quick and convenient alternative to winding bobbins individually in the workroom.

Use it for compatible industrial sewing machines used for furniture upholstery, cushion manufacture, soft furnishings, mattress work and other repetitive machine-sewing applications.

The neutral beige thread is used for cream, natural, beige and other light-to-mid-tone upholstery materials where the bobbin thread may be visible on the reverse of the seam.

Type G and Type L Barbobs are different sizes and are not interchangeable. Always check the sewing-machine specification, bobbin case or existing bobbin before ordering.

For another bobbin format, see Beige Barbob Type L. Other Type G colours include Black Barbob Type G, Brown Barbob Type G and White Barbob Type G.
