I use mine for my Viking.. you'll have to place your bobbin with the "H" faced down.

I got one for Christmas and it seems like a pain to me. I don't mind unthreading to wind a bobbin then rethreading to sew. Guess I'm strange.

You have to wind the Elna bobbins backwards also. Mine will not work with Viking bobbins.

The instructions on mine say that the bobbins for Singer Centaur II and Husqvarna Viking sewing/quilting machines that take bobbins 412 09 75-45 Sure Fit do not work with it. Mine is a Simplicity SideWinder. Hope that helps.

Absolutely! I found that out the hard way after I'd done about 6 of them! I just put the "wrong" bobbins on the thread spool holder and wound onto the upside down bobbin. Love my sidewinder! My old one (same cost, same model) did not "accept" my new Pfaff bobbins, so I tried a few at the store and one of them fit!
