Default Bobbin winder

Do you usually use the bobbin winder on your sewing machine to wind your bobbins
or do you usually use a separate bobbin winder?

I have old machines and if it has a bobbin winder, that's what I use.

I do too use my sewing machine. I have looked at the bobbin winders and they are too much for what you already have already built into your sewing machine.

I use the one on my machine, and will usually fill lots of bobbins at a time so I have them when I need them.

I use the one on my machine, though I do have one of those separate bobbin winders. I thought I needed one when I first started quilting, but it wound my bobbins backwards. It was able to do them correctly when I reversed the instructions. But my sewing machine is right there....no need to drag out anything else.

I really don't like to wind bobbins, and I don't know why. It certainly only takes a few minutes to wind two or three. I seem to put it off as long as possible.
