I have the Sidewinder. It works great for me. When my grandaughter was small she would wind bobbins for hours. I have a shoe box bin full of wound bobbins of all colors. I kept Walmart out of stock on the cheap metal bobbins. LOL. Cheap fun for her and she felt good knowing she was helping. I use it for my FW and 301 bobbins as I can't find prewounds for those. I like the prewounds the best. I can't control a speed but I can adjust the tension. There is a new deluxe model out now that may be different. I have used all types of thread and the ploy mono thread. Nylon mono will stretch.
