Mind you that I have 2 older sewing machines - a Viking from the 70's and a Bernina from the 80's - Bobbins can be filled on my sewing machines
Is it something that is needed in a sewing room. Isn't just as easy to use you sewing machine to fill your bobbins - Does everyone have one of them?
I thought it was a "must have" item. Bought it, tried it, took it back the same day. My Pfaff 2170 bobbin winder was giving me fits that day ... after all that I found out it was "operator error" on the Pfaff. I now wind and keep several bobbins of quilting thread full.
