I don't understand why buy a sidewinder when there is a bobbin winder on most machines? I have heard nothing but bad about them.
The telescoping rod with magnet was one of my best tools too.[/quote]
I bought the Side Winder to wind bobbins for one of my old Singers, the bobbin winder doesn't work right. I too like the telescoping rod magnet...just wish plastic bobbins could be snagged with it too. I dropped one of the plastic bobbins and it rolled under the cabinet all the way to the wall. :roll:
