I love my purple things...yes...I have two of them and use them every time I sew. But I'm a template junkie and have more of them than I will ever use. I've even sold some on Facebook, only to turn around and order a "new" template in a different design. Never owned a Bobbin Winder as I take the time to wind several bobbins before starting a project. If I live long enough maybe I'll get a chance to use everything I've purchased at least once...LOL
