I used to use it a lot, but then I bought a new Pfaff and those bobbins won't fit on the Sidewinder. With my new machine I have to unthread the needle to fill a bobbin. With my old New Home machine I could fill a bobbin without using the thread on the spindle or unthreading the needle.

I have one of the original Side Winders. I can only wind my Bernina bobbins on it, doesn't work with my Pfaff bobbins as the spindle for the bobbin is too big.
It was a waste of money for me.

My Bernina bobbins wouldn't wind on it, but my Kenmore ones worked great. Since I use my Bernina now exclusively, I got rid of it.

I guess it depends on the model of the machine. My Brother, Janome, Brother, and Singer bobbins all fit and wind tight and smooth. They are all older machines. I have scores of each bobbin pre wound thanks to all the helpers I have in my sewing room. I keep the empty bobbins in a bin as I use them.
