Does the Sidewinder work well for winding bobbins from cones?

I have one and hate it. A quilting friend has the same and loves it , so much that even though her brand new juki has a fantastic winder on she still uses her sidewinder, she even brings it to class.
Mine winds far too loosely and not as proficient as hers.

I love my sidewinder. When it winds too loosely I've noticed it's because the thread needs a bit more tension. Make sure you have it threaded right. It needs to go through the ring. if that isn't enough you can put your finger under the thread by the bobbin and give it a bit more tension. I do this all the time.

The bobbin winder that came with my Tiara has never worked all that great. Just wondering if any of you have had good luck winding M size bobbins from large cones with the Sidewinder or Sidewinder Deluxe. The reviews I've found are kind of inconsistent. Thanks for any help.

Your dealer also should be able to help. My dealer adjusted mine perfectly. You paid a bunch of money for that winder - you should be able to use it.
