I purchased one for my machines, true Jamone needs the fuller bobbins.. but the brother will give you a fit.... I took me all of 3 weeks to figure this out. (slamming my head into the wall didnt work either, wondering if I done something 2 the machine?)
I had purchased a new brother machine at big chain store, tried to use my bobbin winder on the bobbins--no way,(they were way over full for the machine). Brother uses a less is more approach I think? Just letting you know....

I have one, use it all the time to fill many bobbins at a time. Works for my Janome and the FW also.

LOVE MINE, about the only bobbins it wont wind are the ones that are self wound in the machine.

Use it for my Brother innovis 1250, I never let the bobbin winder stop itself, i just flip the little arm when the thread gets near the edge, NO PROBLEMS ever.

I have had mime for a couple of years. Love it, does all my bobbins. I guess the new winder will do larger spools of thread and all bobbins. Good investment.

between my dds and myself we have 4 Brother machines(UTL down to a PRW4000) have had no trouble with the bobbin winder, the machines take two different style bobbins also

I love my bobbin winder. Use it all the time. Haven't seen the new version though. Also have a separate winder for the HQ_16.

I haven't read every post, but if you do get one, I think that it works best with the electrical cord. It is a neat little gizzmo. Not a necessity, but handy.
