I am not one to buy many 'toys'. But, I bought this during a huge sale and I LOVE IT. I use it all the time. When I know I am about to start projects (like a bunch of the fabric square wreaths), I will load a bunch of assorted colored bobbins and stack them with under the spools on my thread holder. With my quilts, I tend to piece with neutrals, so I always have extra spools. This lets me reload a bobbin without rethreading the machine. I know that seems like a little thing, but it makes me happy!
