White Barbob Type G (Box of 50)

White Type G Pre-Wound Barbobs, Box of 50

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

Supplied in a box of 50, they reduce the need to repeatedly stop and wind individual bobbins during furniture, cushion, mattress and soft-furnishing manufacture.

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

White Bobbin Thread for Pale Upholstery

White is a useful lower-thread colour for a wide range of light upholstery and soft-furnishing materials, including:

• White fabrics
• Cream upholstery
• Ivory materials
• Pale patterned fabrics
• Light-coloured cushion covers
• Concealed furniture seams
• Bedding and mattress applications
• Soft furnishings

For upholstery coverings,

Where the reverse of the seam remains concealed, the lower thread does not always need to match the upper thread exactly. Where stitching may be visible from either side, test the finished seam before production sewing.

Check That Your Machine Uses Type G

The Type G designation refers to the bobbin format.

Type G and Type L Barbobs should not be treated as interchangeable simply because they may look similar.

Before ordering, check:

• Sewing-machine make and model
• Bobbin-case type
• Existing bobbin
• Required bobbin format
• Overall bobbin dimensions
• Centre or core construction
• Correct fit within the machine

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

Correct bobbin compatibility is important for smooth rotation, consistent thread delivery, balanced tension and reliable stitch formation.

Pair with Suitable Upholstery Thread

The upper and lower threads work together to create the finished machine stitch.

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

For an alternative thread construction, M36 PolyCotton Corespun Sewing Thread combines a polyester core with a cotton outer covering.

When setting up the machine, consider:

• Upper-thread type
• Bobbin-thread compatibility
• Needle size
• Upper and lower tension
• Material thickness
• Number of layers
• Seam construction
• Finished stitch appearance

Always test the complete combination before sewing finished upholstery.

Useful for Cushions, Piping & Zip Panels

Pre-wound Type G Barbobs are particularly useful where the same machine and thread setup is used repeatedly.

Typical sewing work can include:

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

For piped cushion and furniture edges, browse Piping Cords.

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

Piping, folded seam allowances and zip sections can create additional material thickness, so test the sewing setup through the thickest part of the intended seam.

Other Type G Barbob Colours

also supplies Type G pre-wound 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
• Brown Barbob Type G, Box of 50 for brown, tan and natural shades

Keeping several frequently used colours available can reduce unnecessary bobbin winding when moving between different upholstery jobs.

Storage & Machine Maintenance

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

Type G and Type L bobbins should be stored separately and clearly labelled to prevent the two formats becoming mixed.

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

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

Ready-wound bobbins reduce time spent winding individual bobbins, making them used for furniture upholstery, cushion manufacture, soft furnishings, mattress work and repetitive production sewing.

White is a practical lower-thread colour for white, cream, ivory and other pale upholstery materials.
