I have an old pedal sewing machine that has broken bobbins. I thought maybe it was because the bobbins were old and had dried out or something was why they were breaking. Maybe not, I will certainly double check. I still use the machine, but for buttonholes only. Yes, it is so much easier to use my electric machine, but those buttonholes are not as pretty.

I have a janome and I have had bobbins split one side off, I thought it was a faulty bobbin but it is the way the bobbin wound.

Yes I have seen this before .
I have a Brother PE series machine and the plastic bobbins regularly split on me .
The reason being that the machine winds the thread too tightly when the bobbin is refilled .
