I like mine and do use it alot. Especially when I need a bobbin in the middle of a project and dont want to take the thread off of the machine to wind one. I normally always have an extra spool of thread for the color I'm working on. If I have a large project that I'm starting I use it to quickly do bobbins in all of the colors that I'll need. It threads and fills bobbins very quickly

Love mine. I use it all the time. I have several machines and do a whole bunch for each one at one time.

I like mine and use it all the time. I understand that some bobbins will not fit but all mine will except FW.

I love mine. I got it when the bobbin winder broke on my machine. I used a coupon and got 50% off. I love it for all the reasons mentioned above, especially the fact that I don't have to rethread my machine.

For the price of the Sidewider, I bought several empty bobbins. When I fill them, I do several at a time. S've got several taupe, grey brown, black, and white.

I also love mine, but can't wind my husqvarna bobbins on the model sidewinder I have, I understand they have a newer version now that will wind some that the old ones can't wind. I also have 2, one in my salon (where we sew 3 times a month) and one at home.

I absolutely love mine, and would have to replace it if something happened to it
