I finally broke down and bought a second HQ for my main piecing machine.
My main piecing machine is a Juki industrial and winding a bobbin on them is rather a pain, unless you want to go the route of having a second spool and winding while you are sewing, which is how it's made to work.
Not having a speed control would be a negative for me. But the HQ winder is about 8 times the price of this one. So far the only bobbin winders I've had problems with were on my featherweight and 301, and I was able to figure out the solution for those.
