Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Will he sidewinder wind size L bobbins for the Brother PR650e embroidery machine? There is no winder on this machine and I buy prewound for white and black but would like to be able to wind a few colored ones to match my quilt backing when I am using embroidery as part of my quilting.
I've been sewing on various machines for over forty years, and I've never had a problem with a binder winder!
I don't long arm quilt. If a need a longarmer I call my cousin. Haven't made anything bigger than crib size and quilted that one myself on my DSM. Just use my winder that is attached to my machine.
I've always used the winder on my machine without any problems. I have a bobbin winder and I CAN'T use it to wind the thread for my bobbins because I have a Viking and it winds in the opposite direction. I have old machines and the latest high cost machines and I've never had any problems and never heard of this before. My machines also allows me to wind the bobbin while I sew or do embroidery.

So, I just read a post that the sidewinder winds them in the wrong direction... Guess that's why I've always put the bobbins on backwards (it was the only way they went on for me-but,it worked)

Doesn't take that long to wind a bobbin. While I use one machine, I wind on the other.
I always use the bobbin winder on my machine. I like to have 2 spools of each thread--one for filling the bobbins and one for the top of the machine--this way I don't have to unthread the machine to fill a bobbin.
I fill 5-10 bobbins at a time, depending on which machine they're for. For my FeatherWeight I wind 10 because that's the machine I use for piecing. The Brother, Singer & Kenmore maybe 2-5.
