Little Genie Magic Bobbin Washers Snap In

The Little Genie Magic Bobbin Washers by La Pierre Studio are a simple but highly effective sewing aid designed to prevent bobbin backlash, one of the main causes of frustrating thread nests during free-motion quilting and machine embroidery.
These small Teflon washers sit beneath your bobbin inside the bobbin case, allowing the bobbin to spin smoothly and maintain even thread tension.
By controlling the bobbin’s movement, Little Genies help prevent the sudden over-spinning that leads to tangled thread and “bird’s nests” on the underside of your quilting.
Installation couldn’t be easier — simply drop a Little Genie washer into the bobbin case, place your bobbin on top, and start sewing.
Originally designed by award-winning quilter and educator Sharon Schamber, these clever washers have become a favourite tool among quilters who regularly work with free-motion techniques.

Why This Tool Makes Quilting Easier
Bobbin backlash occurs when the bobbin spins too quickly as you stop or change direction.
Little Genie washers act as a smooth base that stabilises the bobbin, helping maintain steady thread delivery and reducing common stitching frustrations.
It’s a small tool that can make a noticeable difference in stitch quality.
