    I purchased one for my machines, true Jamone needs the fuller bobbins.. but the brother will give you a fit.... I took me all of 3 weeks to figure this out. (slamming my head into the wall didnt work either, wondering if I done something 2 the machine?)
    I had purchased a new brother machine at big chain store, tried to use my bobbin winder on the bobbins--no way,(they were way over full for the machine). Brother uses a less is more approach I think? Just letting you know....

    I have one, use it all the time to fill many bobbins at a time. Works for my Janome and the FW also.

    Use it for my Brother innovis 1250, I never let the bobbin winder stop itself, i just flip the little arm when the thread gets near the edge, NO PROBLEMS ever.

    all I did was a manual stop on the wind when it was where I wanted it

    I have had mime for a couple of years. Love it, does all my bobbins. I guess the new winder will do larger spools of thread and all bobbins. Good investment.

    between my dds and myself we have 4 Brother machines(UTL down to a PRW4000) have had no trouble with the bobbin winder, the machines take two different style bobbins also

    I love my bobbin winder. Use it all the time. Haven't seen the new version though. Also have a separate winder for the HQ_16.

    I haven't read every post, but if you do get one, I think that it works best with the electrical cord. It is a neat little gizzmo. Not a necessity, but handy.
