SideWInder - Why?
#51
Can't see paying $30.for that winder when my machine does that for me.I set aside time to wind bobbins and have them always filled so I don't have to unthread when I'm busy sewing....I would like an automatic thread picker upper but I guess I'll use my lint roller........

I bought one on sale since you need to unwind the thread on my machine to fill one and didn't want to mess with that. Loved it while it worked but it only lasted about a year--now it winds VERY slowly if at all so I don't use it. I just wind several bobbins when I start the spool of thread and work that way.

I bought one several years ago when it was on sale for half price. I love it! Both my machines require unthreading in order to fill bobbins and I hate to do it....I also bought extra bobbins and before starting a project I fill about 12 bobbins so I don't even have to stop for quite some time.
It's just a small step in streamlining the process for me.

I have one and the main reason I bought it was so that I didn't have to unthread my machine while working on a project to wind a new bobbin. I wind 5 or 6 bobbins before and start a project but often that is not enough. Also, I seem to have to have every new gadget that comes out. Widh I had waited to get mine because now they have improved it and they have one that holds those huge spools of thread like the ones used for sergers.
