Brown Type G Pre-Wound Barbobs, Box of 50

Brown Type G Barbobs are ready-wound bobbins for compatible sewing machines, providing a convenient lower-thread supply for professional upholstery and production sewing.

Browse Sewing Threads & Barbobs for the complete range of pre-wound bobbins and machine-sewing threads.

Brown Bobbin Thread for Upholstery

Brown is a useful colour for a wide variety of furniture and soft-furnishing materials, including:

• Brown upholstery fabrics
• Tan materials
• Earthy and natural shades
• Brown vinyls
• Leather-look coverings
• Patterned furniture fabrics
• Cushion covers
• Concealed construction seams

For upholstery coverings,

Where the lower thread is concealed, an exact colour match may not always be required. Where stitching could be visible from either side, make a sample seam first and check the finished appearance.

Check That Your Machine Uses Type G

The Type G specification refers to the bobbin format.

Type G and Type L Barbobs are different sizes or constructions and should not be assumed to be interchangeable simply because they look similar.

Before ordering, check:

• Sewing-machine specification
• Existing bobbin
• Bobbin case
• Required bobbin type
• Overall dimensions
• Correct fit within the machine

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

Correct bobbin fit is important for free rotation, reliable thread delivery and consistent stitch formation.

Pair with Suitable Upholstery Thread

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

For strong furniture and upholstery construction seams, Somabond 40's Bonded Nylon Sewing Thread provides a professional bonded nylon option in an extensive range of colours.

For a different thread construction, M36 PolyCotton Corespun Sewing Thread combines a polyester core with a cotton outer surface.

When setting up the machine, consider:

• Upper-thread type
• Needle system and size
• Bobbin compatibility
• Thread tension
• Number of material layers
• Seam construction
• Required stitch appearance

Test the complete combination before sewing finished upholstery.

Useful for Cushions, Piping & Furniture Covers

Pre-wound Barbobs are particularly convenient when producing several covers using the same machine and thread setup.

Typical applications can include:

• Seat cushions
• Back cushions
• Sofa and chair covers
• Piped seams
• Cushion borders
• Zip panels
• Mattress borders
• Soft furnishings

For piped cushions and furniture edges, browse Piping Cords.

For removable upholstery covers and cushion closures, explore the Zipping range.

Piping and folded seams can create considerably more material thickness than a simple flat seam, so test the thread and bobbin through the thickest section of the intended cover.

Other Type G Barbob Colours

also supplies Type G Barbobs in other practical upholstery colours:

• Beige Barbob Type G, Box of 50 for beige, cream and neutral materials
• Black Barbob Type G, Box of 50 for black and darker upholstery shades
• White Barbob Type G, Box of 50 for white and pale materials

Keeping several commonly used colours available helps reduce the need to wind fresh bobbins when moving between different upholstery jobs.

Storage & Sewing Machine Maintenance

Store unused Barbobs in their original box or another clean container and protect them from dust, loose fibres, adhesive overspray and oil.

Keep Type G and Type L stock separately labelled so that similar-looking bobbins do not become mixed.

For routine machine lubrication, use 125ml Sewing Machine Oil sparingly at the lubrication points specified by the sewing-machine manufacturer.

Keep oil away from thread, bobbins and finished upholstery materials.
