Do You Use a Side Winder Bobbin Machine?

I bought one while still using my Brother. I loved it and could wind as many bobbins as I wanted in no time at all. My Singer, old touch and sew, has the bobbin with the metal pin in the middle so it can wind "in" the machine. My Side Winder will not work on this type bobbin, but if I knew one that did, I would be in my car on the way to buy one.

I like my Side Winder also. Bought it at JoAnn's with a coupon and have it plugged in and sitting next to my machine so I can wind a new bobbin without "unthreading" the machine when I run out with inches to go (after shouting argh!) Works great on my Bernina bobbins. The new one looks even better but I will have to wait until mine breaks to get that one.

I did figure out that u can adjust the tenison of the bobbin winder, and stop it when it looks full it will work with the brother...but come to think of it I cant remember where I put the turkey!!Getting bad with crms here.

I have a side winder and love it. I usually wait till I am down to a couple of threaded bobbins, then fill all my bobbins which number about 25 with different colors of thread, plus several white and black. I saw it at Walmart for 25dollars. I had a birthday coming and asked my husband to purchase one for me. That was three yrs ago. I am still using it. I love it, I will never use my babylock to wind bobbins ever again. Go for it, you will not be sorry.
