my old commodore i'm gonna get going again doesn't wind bobbins so i may consider getting one. i read something somewhere where a lady put a heavy weight in the bottom of the case to make it more stable and less vibraty.

I love my sidewinder when I am using my Pfaff as its built in winder is a pain to use...very erratic with thread loose and messy. My Bernina, however, has a GREAT bobbin winder. I tried winding my Pfaff bobbins on my Bernina and that doesn't work, hence the sidewinder when it was on a huge sale. I love it!
