I love mine. I have a Sidewinder. Saves a lot of time. I got it at JoAnn's with a coupon so it was very reasonable.

I use mine so much I had to change the batteries already. How did I ever get along without it? So handy because I don't have to stop and remove thread from the needle, I can use a spare spool and make all the bobbins I need.

Love mine. When working a large project, wind a couple before starting. Small projects just 1. Saves wear and tear on my older machine, and is faster. The only inconvenience is rethreading machine after winding only 1 bobbin.

I bought one and took it back. It did not wind the bobbin with the correct tension for my machine.

I have the Sidewinder (I have 2 of them) and it's been very handy to have. Sure I could do without it but when I need it I have it. It works great for me, no problem at all. The Sidewinder is not expensive.

I love my bobbin winder...use it all the time, especially when I'm getting ready to go to a retreat.

I also have a Sidewinder. I keep all the empties together then hand them to my husband who takes care of them so I can keep on going.

I keep a light colored spool and darker spool on at all times. Sure is handy when quilting and I don't have to stop and thread a bobbin on my machines. Love it.
Ditto...love my cheapie version, too!
