Automatic Bobbin Winder

I really don't know how I quilted before this wonderful little bobbin winder! I absolutely love it. It arrived in perfect condition and I immediately assembled the unit and started winding. Works great with plastic and metal bobbins. I use both. It's such a relief to know that when my bobbin runs out in the middle of a seam, I don't have to stop, wind a bobbin, and then rethread my sewing machine. It was super easy to put together and I started using it immediately. Winds the bobbin in seconds and then you are ready to sew!

This worked great for me right out of the box. I did notice that when using it the thread coming off the spool jumped around and wrapped around the thread going down from the pole to the tensioner and caused it to jump, when that happened the bobbin slipped up and the thread spun around under the bobbin and caused the thread to break. Aside from that it works great. UPDATE: So after using this for several months In I still think it is great. I have used it to wind maybe 500 bobbins at this point and the only issue i have had with it is similar to one others have mentioned the bobbin sometimes pops off. For those that have our may have that issues it is a minor inconvenience, but I have a simple solution. if you take another bobbin and place it on top of the one that is winding you can apply a small amount of pressure and keep it in place. now I just do it all the time and works great. I usually wind 20 bonbons at a time with it and have no problems. I uploaded a video showing what I mean about keeping the bobbins in place.

Assembly is easy but other reviewers are right - the directions are fairly useless. I still haven't figured out why I have four screws for which there appears to be no use, and no instructions for use. I'm not very mechanical, but assembly was pretty obvious to me. I thought the operation was pretty intuitive, as well. Reduced by one star because the product photos and description are somewhat misleading. The base plate does not extend as far as the picture shows, and there isn't room for a 5500M Glide thread spool. A 2000 yard spool does fit. I put the Glide spool next to the spool holder and threaded it in the stand, and it worked fine. I don't recommend using the built-in spool holder with stack-wound thread, either. I intend to use my Superior Threads thread stand if I wind spools (and I will). Otherwise, works like a charm and is really fast. I like that the tension can be adjusted, which was a problem with my sewing machine bobbin winder - with smooth thread like trilobar polyester, I had to hold the thread to get enough tension for it to wind. I do a lot of sewing and have bought a lot of prewound bobbins. Now, I can make my own!

LOVE this!! Wish I would’ve known this existed sooner. Works perfectly for the bobbins for both my Juki machine (which uses metal bobbins) and my Kenmore machine (which uses plastic bobbins). I didn’t set up the little thread stand as I find it easier to just use the one connected to my Juki machine.

Absolute junk. Item arrived looking used & missing parts. Was pictured to have a thread stand...did not. Also just lose in the box, zero description. Got it installed, went to use it & the machine rattles & sounds like a gear is out. It does run, as mentioned, doesn't sound right, but it spins AT LIGHT SPEED! I understand this speed is actually correct. If the thread comes lose it will spin out 10 yards of thread before you can stop it. Spins WAY to fast. I have never been so dissatisfied with a product...ever.

Fast and easy way to wind a bobbin.

Good product

So, the bottom line is it works with a different set up and winds the bobbin tight. Having said that, the thread holder is loose. The holder is longer than the legs of the machine. You can see in the video. Perhaps I did it wrong, but if I made it right, the extension would hold the winder up and off the legs and make it wobble. I bought this because my heavy duty bobbin winder for my Sweet Sixteen machine M bobbins pooped out. It will work until I get the motor fixed on my heavy duty one. It should work just right for regular machine bobbins using standard size thread spools, if you can stabilize the thread holder.

fonctionne vraiment très bien

Tal cómo lo necesitaba mi esposa.

This took almost 3 weeks to arrive and had no protective packaging so was broken and a part was missing. It had come from USA and made in China so did a lot of travelling! Returned and refunded but very disappointing

This is a great bobbin winder. Installation and assembly very easy. I purchased this to wind my M Class Bobbins for my Qnique 15R, does a great job, no problems with tension, etc. I recommend this product.

This bobbin winder works great for my metal bobbins….221/301 bobbins, but my plastic bobbins will not fit the winder. They are smaller and won’t go all the way to the bottom of the winder spool. I purchased this bobbin winder especially for my Singer vintage machines, 221 featherweight and 301, so works well for those bobbins. Winds very fast and stops when bobbin is full. You can adjust it to fill the bobbin more or less which is great.
