I have the green bobbins for my Sapphire 870....yes..they notify you when they are running low....but....the deluxe looks like it's $90 ????http://www.momgadget.com/deluxe-side...bobbin-winder/Originally Posted by myreda
I just got the new Deluxe Sidewinder. It works much better than the original one. I am now using it to wind all my Featherweight and Janome plastic bobbins. It was expensive but it does a great job and it includes spindles that you can change out to wind all kinds of bobbins, including ones for Gammil and Handi-quilter. The list of bobbins includes Viking groups 2,3,4 transparent and Viking green plastic bobbins also, among many others.

I have one and use it for my Bernina but it does not work for my Viking. Use a 40 or 50% off coupon at JoAnn's or someplace like that when you do buy it :)

Great!
I have an old Sears machine, Baby Lock, and my mothers Featherweight. I will try get the Dritz bobbin winder.
thanks for the info.

I have one of the original sidewinders. It didn't seem to wind tight enough so I didn't use it until someone on here said that it would wind tightly when you used the electric and not the battery. They were absolutely right. I now wind up bobbins for my Featherweight in the basic colors I use for piecing and never have to stop while sewing.

I've also been thinking of getting a side winder for my Husqvarna Emerald 118. Can anyone tell me is it compatible with my machine? Thanks in advance for your help.

Which bobbins does it use? The list is of bobbin types not machines. I will try to help if you can tell me which bobbin you use. (I am referring to the question about the Emerald.)

I am sooo curious about your avatar what & where is that?Originally Posted by Moon Holiday
My Janome has a separate motor for the built-in bobbin winder so I don't need one. If I didn't have this machine I probably would get one. My sister has one and uses it all the time.

I got mine for about $75 on sale at Joann's. It might be possible to use a 50% off coupon on it at Joann's too if you watch.Originally Posted by thimblebug6000

Yes, I have one, and I use it to wind the bobbins for my piecing machine. I use pre-wounds in my BabyLock quilter on the frame. Too much trouble to unhook stuff to wind bobbins on it.
