Electric Bobbin Winders

[UKRay]

I've tried both sorts, Russ, and neither work! I can't see to thread the needle threader through the needle either! LOL

I have two machines, Suze, one takes small spools and the other takes large ones - unfortunately they don't seem to be interchangeable.

Honestly, guys, I need a stand alone bobbin winder! No, really I do... LOL

For the smaller bobbins, get an old, ordinary home sewing machine and just use it to wind bobbins. It might even be possible to find one that can take the larger bobbins too. Or one could be modified to do that by removing the automatic shutoff-when-full device, which limits the bobbin size.

Best is the $10 industrial winder mounted on a board with an old home machine motor and speed control. Then you can adjust the full shutoff for either size.

Hello, just go to longarmsupplies.net and look at the Gammill bobbin winder. I have this machine and won't use anything else! Fast and easy and at 89.95 its worth it, trust me! The main platform is made of solid material like corian counter top material with a hard surface on top and bottom. By the way, this uses the same winder setup that the industrial machines use but with a home sewing machine motor to power it. Good luck, Brad.
