I use mine all the time. I wound several bobbins at once, so I don't have to think about it. Also, I wound bobbins while my embroidery machine is running.

I like mine. I also use the plastic prewound bobins but can't refill them on my machine. So I refill them on the bobbin winder.

I liked mine but prefer the pre-wound bobbins...been trying to sell mine but I think a lot of people use the pre-wound bobbins now. I didn't have the space for it and get impatient trying to wind a bobbin on my sewing machine. My mother LOVES hers and refuses to even use her sewing machine to wind a bobbin. I think it is a matter of what you prefer....

SUCH GREAT ADVISE. I HAVE ONE THAT I GOT AS A GIFT. HAVE NOT TRIED IT YET, BUT FOR SURE WILL GIVE IT A WHIRL

I pre-wind as many bobbins as I have available too. I ran across a whole bunch once at an estate sale. Must have been around 30 or so. Some still had thread on them.

I just bought a "Better Bobbin" Thread winder & it does not
work. Taking it back tomorrow.

The bobbin winder is really great but it can't be used with Pfaff machines because the bobbin has a special grove on it.

I love mine, it was worth the money. I hate tearing down the sewing machine just to fill the bobbin.
