Mind you that I have 2 older sewing machines - a Viking from the 70's and a Bernina from the 80's - Bobbins can be filled on my sewing machines
Is it something that is needed in a sewing room. Isn't just as easy to use you sewing machine to fill your bobbins - Does everyone have one of them?
I love mine! It is faster than my machine and easier to use. You don't have to unthread or change spools around. It is down on the table, easier to reach! and in a class where there is a shortage of power outlets it runs on batteries. I can whiz a bunch of bobbins full in no time! nice to have stacks ready when doing overall quilting.
Not everybody has one. No you don't need it.
