A non-spill bobbin case device having a bobbin thread tension spring and a direct bobbin thread path extending from the bobbin thread tension spring across the bobbin case device spaced from the outer face of a bobbin flange supported in the bobbin case, and having a leaf spring with a first end attached thereto, the second end of which impinges upon the outer face of the bobbin flange. An indirect thread path is established by reeving the bobbin thread through a hook provided on the end of the leaf spring in engagement with the bobbin flange so that upon thread demand, the leaf spring is removed from the bobbin flange to permit free rotation thereof; but when thread demand ceases, the end of the leaf spring comes immediately into contact with the bobbin flange to deter further rotation thereof. An adjustment screw is provided which provides for variability of pressure contact of the second end with the bobbin flange for no interference with bobbin rotation upon thread demand or for only a small degree of interference therewith.
