Cream Magna-Glide Classic #60 Bobbins (Case of 72)
The Cream Magna-Glide Classic #60 Bobbins (Case of 72) are pre-wound bobbins designed for longarm quilting machines. Wound with fine #60 cream polyester thread on a plastic core, these bobbins provide consistent tension, low lint, and long run times. The cream color is a warmer, softer neutral than white — ideal for use with natural, ivory, cream, and warm-toned quilt backings.

Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I choose cream bobbins over white?
- Use cream bobbins when quilting on natural cotton, muslin, ivory, or warm-toned quilt backs. White thread can read as stark on these fabrics and may be visible if bobbin tension is even slightly off. Cream blends seamlessly with warm neutrals.
- What is the difference between a case of 72 and a case of 100?
- The case of 72 is a standard full case for Magna-Glide Classics. Some colors (like white) are also available in 100-count bulk cases. A case of 72 provides significant per-bobbin savings over smaller purchases.
- Are Magna-Glide Classic bobbins the same size as the Delights bobbins?
- Both are available in L-style and M-style sizes, but Classic and Delights are not interchangeable — they differ in core type (plastic vs. cardboard) and wind tension. Check which style your machine and tension system are set up for.
- How much thread is on each pre-wound bobbin?
- Each Magna-Glide Classic bobbin is wound to capacity for its size — generally more thread than a hand-wound bobbin because the pre-wind is extremely consistent and compact.
- Do I need to adjust my bobbin case tension when switching to pre-wound bobbins?
- A minor tension adjustment is often needed when switching from self-wound to pre-wound bobbins. Run a test sample and adjust until the bobbin thread stays below the quilt surface before beginning your project.
