sidewinder
 

Are they worth the money???:shock:

In my opinion no. I just take a few minutes and wind lots of bobbins at once. :)

I love mine and would replace it in a heartbeat if something happened to it.

I have one also and just used it this morning. It works great for me although I did have to take the first one back because it did not work. Anyway, I like being able to wind bobbins off the machine when needed.

PS: If I remember right, you have to make sure it will accommodate your particular make machine bobbins. I think it tells you on the box what won't work but it's been a couple of years since I bought mine so I am not sure that is still true or not.

yes. I use mine all the time, as I have several machines and one will not let you wind bobbins on it.. I cannot use it to load bobbins for my topaz30 embroidery machine by Husbvarna but do use it to wind bobbins for my quilter.. I have two of them and keep one by my workhorse machine all the time..
get them on sale or with a 50% coupon at Joanns

Yes, they're worth it. I bought mine with half price coupon, though. I have a machine where the bobbin winder died, and the sidewinder was cheaper than getting the bobbin winder fixed. Plus it was easier than filling bobbins with an electric drill.

I thought about it. Then again I have 2 machines and I get 2 at a time winding. Doesn't take that long. I try to wind right before I clean the machines. That way when I get ready to use the machine there is no lint. I also clean both machines at the same time. Done done done.

I like mine.

I was a first adopter.....love mine!!

Love mine.

I use it when sewing with my Singers - and do several at a time. But I prefer to use it instead of the machines for some reason. My Janome and Viking I use the one one the machines.

I had one years ago and hated it. It didn't fill correctly and took ages.

My friend has one it fills beautifully and takes seconds she thinks it is the bees knees.

It looks like you are lucky with the one you purchase.

I bought mine as a back up if my older sewing machine winders break. I found it at a thrift store, new in the box for $5.

I love mine and use it all the time.

I recently purchased one on sale at Handcock Fabrics. I tried only one bobbin and needed to rewind it. I'll need to try a few more before I say yes or no.

I use mine all the time! I love it.

For me, yes. I use it all the time. I used to have a machine that I could wind bobbins on while I sewed. I missed that so much until I found the sidewinder.

Found one on clearance at Walmart. It is a not worth using when my machine does a better job and is easier to use.

Love mine too!! Would buy another one if mine died!!

I received one as a gift and for me -- I love it. I have a bobbin box that holds 25 bobbins I have some regularly used colors spun on about half of them. The other half is white/cream threads for my all purpose piecing stuff. I use the larger spools of thread (3" ones that hold a ton of thread) which I put on a pencil to spin a lot at one time. When I sit down I'm all set to go. I tend to get tunnel vision when i'm sewing and with fewer interuptions, the off I am. But that is just me. Also I can put some AA batteries when I'm going to group or I can use the cord while at home.

If you have a machine that does a poor job filling a bobbin, it sure is worth it. Lousy bobbin = lousy sewing experience.

I love mine! So much easier than having to re-thread my machine after filling the bobbin. I make sure I have 2 spools of every color of thread - one on the machine and one to wind bobbins.

Love mine. I got it with a 50% coupon, cuz I thought the price was too high for what it was.

I wouldn't trade it! The bobbin winder that came with my Sweet Sixteen is a pain, and I can wind my size M bobbins on my sidewinder.

I bought one...it was a nightmare to get tight even bobbins...so I took it back and bought more fabric...thinking back why would I need one when I have 9 machines that have one on each machine

I love mine and find it saves wear and tear on my sewing machine!

I love mine, if you are running it on batteries, and batteries get low, it can cause tension problems. I usually run mine off the plug in and only use batteries when I go to class, or retreat. winds better than my machine winder, and I do not have to rethread he machine.
