Ken's is where I buy my prewounds from and I love them! They are would so good and tight.
As to the Sidewinder, I just bought one and it's going back to Hancock's! I tried winding a bobbin with my Brother bobbin thread and I never did get it to wind !! Either the bobbin or the spool would just fly off!!
It's a great idea but needs more work on the design IMO.
