I bought many bobbins in bulk on ebay (for each of my machines, including original Viking green). I bought a "Wrights- SideWinder" from Joann's but haven't used it yet, as we also do a lot of remodeling around our house. When the dust (drywall or sawdust) is flying for months at a time...I put my machines & fabric safely out of harms way...in a nice outbuilding that is clean. We should have joined "remodeler's anonymous" years ago, per our children!
I noticed Joann's also sells the Dritz "Better Bobbin Winder" for about the same price. Can some of you say which brand you've used when you state that you LOVE it!

I wonder where some of you live that find the Joann's bobbin winder for $20...here is the current link @ Joann's online, one is $34, the other is $39. Wright's- http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...DID=xprd315882
Dritz -http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/p...en=10582594436
Even w a 50% off coupon, these would go for $17 or more. I know I paid even more than that for mine.

Several friends bought them and never realized the spindles were different sizes from one to another and they don't fit many machines - I tried my Pfaff, Vikings and neither will work. I just wind up a mess of them before a project.
