Bobbin Winder
#21
I bought this b4 I moved to Chile and LOVE it. Compared the others b4 I bought and this is the best IMO. (I had to know it was heavy duty and wouldn't cause trouble 4,000 miles away from it's home turf.)

Straight from a guy who was a tech on machines his whole life. Have both an HQ 16 LA that takes bigger commercial bobbins, had a Phaff, Brother,Singer and now overseas here on 220V I have a Janome as well. This works on them all smoothly and accurately. Love it. Takes AA batteries which last forever and means there is no cord to drag around and find a home for.

I love my bobbin winder but it doesn't work well using Bottom Line or Sew Fine thread. The thread is too fine and you wind up with a rat's nest. Works great on regular thread but I don't have a LA.

The sidewinder doesn't work on the Viking green bobbins, so its useless for my Viking Sapphire. Sometimes it won't wind my other bobbins tightly or evenly, so I seldom use it. This was a waste of money for me.

Which one do you have? Do you use it for the long arm bobbins?

I bought the deluxe and really like it. I like to wind a bunch at once. I normally have several spools of the same colors and use those neutrals as my go to colors for piecing. I got one with my HQ Sweet Sixteen and it's nice for the M bobbins. I am thinking of going to some pre-wounds for colors I quilt with often. I like the So Fine, but I'm thinking of going toward the SuperBobs.
