I just got back from my mom's and she showed me the "sidewinder" in one of her magazines. We are wondering if anyone has one of these. It is small and compact, about the size of an envelope and about3 inches wide. You put your thread on it and it winds up the bobbin for you so you don't have to remove your quilt or project when you run out of bobbin thread. All you have to do is change the bobbin. My mom called her quilt store and they had just received "one" of them, they are going to try it out before they purchase any more to see if it is any good. Here is a link I found where you can look at it.

It cost about $30, anyone know anything about these?
