I use the Simplicity Sidewinder Deluxe to wind size M bobbins for my HQ Sweet Sixteen. It gives me better results than the bobbin winder that came with the HQ. I haven't tried using it to wind bobbins for my DSMs.

I just got an HQ16 for a really good price. What size table/frame is yours on? Mine came with an adjustable table that is only 8' long. I'm waiting patiently for a part before I can set it up.
I'm so excited to have it.
Good to hear about the bobbin winder. The lady threw one of those in.

There are two models of Sidewinders, basic or Deluxe. The basic does not wind Viking bobbins. I can't help you with the Deluxe model.
Singer 66 treadle, 15-91. JC Penney 6923. White 2334 Brother serger. And Singer 600 (Touch & Sew) that doesn't count because I only wanted the cabinet! RIP Singer 1036
I have the basic, have used it for my Janome, Singer, Elna, and an old Montgomery Ward. Have had no problems, as long as I use the correct bobbin. (don't even ask) LOL
It won't wind green Viking bobbins. Says so right on the box.

I can't get mine to wind the bobbins for the Juki 2010. It does the Pfaff well. I like it when using the embroidery unit.
I find that strange, as I can wind almost any bobbin on my Pfaff 2170. I have a lot of cheap metal bobbins that I wind for the serger if I need a certain color. Since the bobbins go on the looper spool holders, it doesn't matter what they fit originally.
I don't think they are worth what they are priced at. I use it occasionally with Bernina bobbins. It is cheaply made.

It's worth triple the price to me. I don't have the delux model as the regular one works for all my bobbins. I opened the bottom of it and put in a heavy weight (found a chunk of metal in DH's shop). It doesn't tip over when running and it winds much smoother with the weight in it.
I love my life!
I use the Sidewinder with green Husqvarna/Viking bobbins. Place them upside down...... with the H on the bottom.
