I don't buy many 'toys' for myself, but one day this was on a 60% sale, so I bought it. I absolutely love it! It sits under my thread wall and so quick and easy to fill bobbins. I fill a couple before a project and they sit on the extra spool. I usually sew with the basic neutrals, so when I run out (usually on that last stretch!), I just spin my chair around, load another one and slip it in the case. I don't think I would spend the regular price for it, but if it is on sale, I would buy it. It would also be a great gift for a quilting friend.
