Wright's SideWinder - The Portable Bobbin Winder

The Bottom Line

A handy tool to have if you have to re-thread your sewing machine to wind a bobbin.

Pros

  • Fantastic for winding bobbins when you are doing machine embroidery.
  • Small and compact.
  • Plenty of power on two AA batteries
  • Power adapter included.
  • Attached cover keeps the machine together and covered.

Cons

  • Easy to over fill a bobbin.

Description

  • White color, self contained, small machine to wind bobbins.
  • Compact design. The entire machine is light weight and measures 5 1/2" X 4" X 3" when closed.
  • It has two extra holders to store bobbins that are ready to use or waiting to be wound.
  • The box says "Easy as 1,2,3" and I agree!
  • You must watch and stop the winding as the bobbin is full. What looks like a brake did not stop the bobbin from over filling.

Guide Review - Stand Alone Bobbin Winder

The Wright's SideWinder is a portable bobbin winder that stands alone to wind any sewing machine bobbin. It is powered by two AA batteries that are not included or the included power adapter.
My package was missing the instruction sheet but the box also has simple to follow instructions.
