I'm considering buying one of the K-Kraft bobbin winders but was wondering if they work for the type bobbin used in the vintage machines (Singer and Japanese clones)....not the shuttle type but the regular round ones? I have several vintage machines and sometimes the bobbin winder on the machine doesn't work as well as I would like it to and it's becoming a PITA even though I LOVE my vintage machines.

I LOVE my K-Kraft winder. I use it to wind bobbins for my long arm. When you order the machine, they will set it up for the type of bobbin you want. They are very responsive to emails, as I had a lot of questions before I ordered. I also was concerned with the price, but believe it or not, this is on the low end for a 'professional' winder.

My Pfaff has a seperate motor and spool for winding bobbins so there is not a problem for me.
