I always use the superior stand to wind bobbins for my Voyager 17. It feeds the thread evenly to the bobbin winder. Have also used it on my domestic Bernina 1230 to feed the thread. What I like about it is that I can adjust it so the thread feeds through the stand loop very close to the machine's thread spool. I just allow the thread to feed from the stand to this thread spool; everything else is the same.
Edit: I should add that I used to use a canning jar and an "outrigger" (bar with a hold to slip over the machine's thread stand and another hole through which to feed the thread) but had occasional problems with that setup, and it didn't work at all with one type of rayon thread cone. The Superior stand has worked with every thread I've tried, plus it adjusts for my Voyager's bobbin winder. Very versatile, although I hate the fact that I have to store its spare parts and directions independently of the winder. In a few years, when I finally need to use it differently, I'll never be able to find them!
