I have had mine for years and use it all the time. Wouldn't be without one.

There is a tension knob on it.

I have one and use it to wind bobbins for my Voyager17 mid-arm.

One word for the Sidewinder....WORTHLESS!

I have one also but lost the power adapter in a move. :( Need to see if I can find a replacement. I know I can use batteries as well but would prefer to use the adapter.

I have had mine for over five years now. It has held up fine and I use natural colored thread when I put my quilts together and when I run low on bobbins (I have a lot of them), I sit and watch a tv show and reel up thread on my bobbins and put them (like about 30 of them) in a container. I always have my natural bobbins and then I have another container where I have "one of each" bobbin when I need a different color. On the "one of each" bobbins, when I run low I just automatically run another through, so they are always there. Oh yah, one more thing - VERY IMPORTANT - use the 1/4" blue painter's tape and wrap a little piece around your bobbin - keeps the thread in place perfectly. Doesn't get loose and tangle up with other bobbins. Works great for me. I love it!! Edie

My sidewinder works well and eliminates disrupting projects. From age 5 on, my granddaughter has happily made bobbins for my projects. She loves the sidewinder.

I have had one for years and I really like it. My sidewinder is able to wind all my bobbins but a friend had a Singer that was rather new and she said it wouldn't work for her. I use it for my Bernina, White, Pfaff and all Vintage Singers and it works. I usually wind 6 bobbins at a time when sewing. It's convenient to take along wherever I go.

I love mine too. I don't use my machines anymore to wind bobbins.

My Sidewinder has lasted me for years, love it. I think it saves wear on the sewing machine. I've never used my Janome to wind fabric, just my sidewinder.
