Love Mine use it all the time.

Not familar with them because with my Bernina you can load a bobbin without unthreading the machine.

Michelle: I have a sidewinder and love it. It is battery or electric. I have even taken mine to class and it has been used by all there. Beware some bobbins do not work on it though. Double check before you buy. I got mine at JoAnn's with my % off coupon.

OK, how is the side winder different from the better bobbin winder? Does it work in tandem with the machine?

I have a side winder and use and love it!
I wanted one for along time and got one with a 50% off coupon at Joanns.

Wear and tear; that's ridiculous! That's what sewing machines are made for, use. What difference does it make if you are wearing out your sewing machine or some fancy box you paid too much for to wind bobbins? I still just don't get you people. You are talking about winding a bunch of bobbins with the sidewinder; you can wind a bunch of bobbins ahead with your sewing machine, and save the money you spent on the sidewinder, to buy fabric.

No, I don't have one...but I do have an industrial bobbin winder that I use for my longarm. It works fabulously fast :)

I was given one 3 years ago and have used the dickens out of it. My little granddaughter(4) has learned to use it so I let her wind some for me. I love the thing!!! It has both batteries and a little power cord,but the batteries last forever in mine.

I use one all the time. I try to have 2 spools of thread so I can put one on the machine and one on the bobbin machine. I love it/ :)

I use one all the time and it works great.
