Has anyone used a flying geese ruler and it is worth it? or just another thing to throw in the drawer...also thoughts on using sidewinder bobbin rewinder would be appreciated. Thanks so much all!

the bobbin winder doesn't work for all the bobbins for different machines, I wouldn't buy it
not sure on the other ruler |

I bought a bobbin winder. I thought it was an impractical thing, but I bought it anyway. It turns out, that I love it. I have an older machine, that doesn't do a great job on winding bobbins, and it's great for that. I bought the better bobbin winder from Joanne's with a 50% coupon. I like it because it has a telescopic arm that you can wind bobbins from a large cone of bobbin thread. I don't think the simplicity one has this. I wish my BBW had a variable speed control. It winds very fast. I prefer a bit slower wind.
I would not buy a flying geese ruler. I use the no waste method that makes 4 geese at a time. http://www.patchpieces.com/files/flyinggeese.pdf |

That's pretty much the same as Joan Hawley ruler/method. I have hers and it's easy to use. I like it.
|
I bought a Sidewinder on sale. Just thought I would try it. I love it. I wind my Juki bobbins while I am sewing so there is always a bobbin available.

I like Eleanor Burns's flying geese rulers.

What I learned from this:
The flying geese need to be trimmed - almost like my HST units need to be trimmed - in order to be "good enough" |
