Brother PR and VR compatibility
Brother identifies prewound bobbins as part of its consumables range for PR and VR professional-style embroidery machines. Brother support and accessory materials associate the relevant PR/VR consumables with models including the PR1060W, PR1055X, PR680W/PR680WC, PR670E/PR670EC and PR1000e, as well as other machines within the wider PR and VR ranges.
Please confirm compatibility before ordering. Model names, accessories and bobbin requirements can vary between machines and markets. Check your machine manual for Brother part number XH3619001 or a requirement for an L-type prewound bobbin. Do not select a bobbin solely because your machine carries the Brother brand, as domestic Brother sewing and embroidery machines may use a different bobbin system.
If you are uncertain, contact Two Petals with the complete model number printed on your machine. The team can help you check the appropriate consumable before purchase.

Installing the bobbin
Always follow the instructions supplied with your particular Brother embroidery machine. On compatible Brother PR machines, Brother instructs users to position the bobbin so the thread unwinds clockwise, then guide the thread through the bobbin-case slit and beneath the tension-adjusting spring.

- Switch off the machine and remove the bobbin case as directed in your machine manual.
- Place the prewound bobbin into the bobbin case with the thread unwinding in the specified direction.
- Guide the thread through the slit and beneath the tension spring.
- Leave the thread length recommended in your manual before reinstalling the bobbin case.
- Confirm that the bobbin case is fully seated before closing the hook cover and beginning embroidery.
Remember to check bobbin tension
A prewound bobbin saves winding time, but it does not remove the need for correct machine setup. Brother recommends checking the bobbin-thread tension whenever a bobbin is changed, even when replacing it with the same type. If your machine includes a tension gauge and weights, follow the model-specific instructions for a prewound bobbin before adjusting the upper thread tension.
Thread dust or residue around the bobbin-case tension spring can also affect stitching. Follow the maintenance schedule in your machine manual and keep the hook and bobbin-case area clean. If tension problems continue after correct threading and cleaning, Two Petals offers Brother sewing and embroidery machine servicing in Melbourne’s south-east .

Select the required quantity when ordering; each unit in this listing is one prewound bobbin.
Questions and answers
Is XH3619001 a genuine Brother bobbin?
Yes. XH3619001 is a Brother part number for a prewound embroidery bobbin used within Brother’s PR and VR consumables range.
Which Brother machines use this prewound bobbin?
It is intended for compatible Brother PR and VR professional-style embroidery machines using this part or an L-type prewound bobbin. Brother documents the associated PR/VR consumables across several PR models, but you should check your machine manual or ask Two Petals to verify your complete model number before ordering.
Will it fit every Brother embroidery machine?
No. Brother domestic, combination and professional-style embroidery machines do not all use the same bobbin. Only use this product when your machine documentation specifies XH3619001 or confirms the matching L-type prewound format.
Is this an L-type bobbin?
Yes. Brother’s instructions for compatible PR machines specify the use of prewound L-type bobbins.
What colour is the bobbin thread?
The prewound thread is white, making it suitable as the underside thread for many general machine embroidery projects.
How many bobbins are included?
This product listing is for one prewound bobbin. Increase the order quantity if you need several bobbins for production work or workshop spares.
Does a prewound bobbin guarantee the correct tension?
No. Prewound bobbins provide convenience and avoid the winding step, but Brother advises checking bobbin tension whenever the bobbin is changed. Fabric, upper thread, bobbin thread and machine setup can all influence the finished stitch.
Which direction should the bobbin thread unwind?
Brother’s installation guidance for compatible PR machines shows the thread unwinding clockwise when the bobbin is placed in the bobbin case. Always compare this with the diagram in your specific machine manual.
What should I check if bobbin thread appears on top of the embroidery?
Stop the machine and check the bobbin orientation, upper and lower threading, bobbin-case seating and thread tension. Clean accumulated thread dust from the bobbin and hook area according to the manual. Test the design on a fabric and stabiliser sample before continuing with the finished item.
Can Two Petals help with compatibility or tension problems?
Yes. Two Petals is an authorised Brother dealer and service technician in Melbourne’s south-east. Contact the Pakenham team with your machine model and details of the issue for product guidance or servicing assistance.
