To be 100% sure whether your machine takes L or A style bobbins, it may be a good idea to call your dealer. Or, take a ruler, and measure your "native" bobbin VERY CAREFULLY:

A size diameter should be 0.8 inches (20 millimeters), height should be 0.4 inches (10 millimeters).
L size diameter should be 0.8 inches (20 millimeters), height should be 0.3 inches (7.5 millimeters).

If it is neither - check if your machine came with spare bobbin case for L-size bobbins. Brother machines usually do.

Also, if you order bobbins from us, and see that something does not work like it should - within 60 days you may return them in original packaging, and get a store credit or refund. So you're absolutely safe to try.
