Thank you all. It's on sale for $19.99. think I'll go for it. I have no problem returning something if it doesn't work. Appreciate all your help. Hugs BrendaK

My first few bobbins were that way too until I figured out the tension knob. Bobbins now wind even and full. I use a thread stand to fill from a cone.

I have one, and I used it for awhile. Then I decided it was just as easy to stick with my machine. I have a Pfaff and the instructions for it didn't wind the bobbin correctly. Somehow I remember that it did the bobbin backwards. Once If figured that out, I was able to turn my bobbin over and it worked fine. Just more trouble than using my machine.
My sister uses one all the time to wind her long arm bobbins. That's sort of why I bought one. I was new to quilting and she was very pleased with hers. So I thought I should have one.

I've had one for many years, comes in handy once in a while. Bought one for my mom too, she used to have to come to my house and wind bobbins- not always convenient- so she was happy to have one. I don't use it all the time but it has served me well when I needed it

I like it. I will fill about 20 bobbins at a time when doing a quilt while watching tv. I don't use it when I need a single color of thread for a small project, but for a quilt it really comes in handy for me.

I have had one since the day they came out and I love it. I use it quite often, especially if I'm using one of my older machines. A friend bought one too but her Singer bobbins would not wind. Check first to see if yours fit.
