HimaPro Automatic Bobbin Winder for Sewing Machine Electrical Bobbin Winder Electric Bobbin Winder - Adjustable Bobbin Slot - Fast and Efficient Winding Experience

This bobbin winder fits my L-style bobbins just fine. I tried 2 other brands that would not accommodate the L-style before I found this one. It is very fast and does a good job. Plus it has the thread holder that holds the thread taut and runs it onto the bobbin smoothly. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you.

Works great. Nice and tight bobbin. Easy setup

While this does work quickly and fairly well, I had to watch a video on YouTube by a maker to understand better how it works. The instructions need to be more clear with how to adjust the tension and make it feed to a bobbin more evenly. It is quick and loads plenty of thread into your bobbin with either a cone or spool of thread.

It was received well packages and was very easy to put together. I mounted mine with double sided tape at the side of my machine and it is quite sturdy, it does not hinder the use of the machine. It does what it is expected to do. It is worth the price I paid

The product description said "May NOT" work for Husqvarna, and it does not. I have a large project that will require numerous bobbins in 4 separate colors. I was hoping for a way to cut the time this will require, this is not it. I am including a picture of the bobbins that fit my machine, which Do Not work with this bobbin winder, the HimaPro Automatic Bobbin Winder. I would like to encourage everyone reviewing a product such as this, please include specifics, what, and why it does or doesn't work.

Ever forget to start winding a bobbin while sewing a project, only to stop the ride, unthread your needle back to the take up arm, then sit and spin up a bobbin? Or believe you've set all in motion only to find you've missed activating the bobbin winder, or the thread slipped and didn't wind the bobbin at all??! Or the silly thing just keeps winding then you have a massive ball of waste incorporated into the winder?!!! Ugh!!!!! Been there, done that!! This little investment saves a lot of heartache and waste! Saves waste of product, time, energy, and sanity!!! Every bobbin spins up in a matter of seconds! Perfectly! 100%!!! No doubt about it!! It is adjustable to most any size bobbin. It automatically stops when bobbin is full, every, single, time! All in all, if your tired of the good ol' bobbin winder attached to your machine shenanigans this is exactly what you've been wishing for! I highly recommend this auto bobbin winder!

It took me a couple of tries (I wound thread for 3 seconds and checked), but once I got the tension correct for the thread I use, it was WONDERFUL. I wound bobbins for my Singer 221 Featherweight (metal, with small holes in the sides), Singer 247 (plastic, rounded), Janome 6600 and 9400 (flat-sided plastic), and M Bobbins for my long arm. I DID have to adjust the sliding plate that holds the bobbin to allow it to load more thread. Take the time to adjust the tension and bobbins will wind perfectly. The language translation for the instructions is far from perfect for American English - but it's very good if you take the time to figure it out. One photo is of the back of the box that shows bobbin sizes. I added a conversion for 2 dimensions. I am writing this review because when I went "shopping" for a bobbin winder, most did not have enough information for me to choose. I took a chance and ordered this one. The winder that a friend has, only accepts one size bobbins with the center hole all the same size. TO THE MANUFACTURER: Adding some marks as reference for the Bobbin Holding plate would be a HUGE benefit. (I used a black marker on mine). I also added an arrow to show me which way it wound thread so that I could wrap it a few times. UPDATE: January 16, 2020. This device continues to work wonderfully for my bobbins. I have loosened the tension disc slightly to allow for more even windings. FOR THOSE WHO QUESTION if their type of bobbin will fit: So long as the inner hole of your bobbin - what you put on the shaft of this winder - is the same as any other bobbin, I do not see any reason why it would not work. I have seen videos of this SAME mechanism (without the base) as the bobbin winder of some Long Arm machines. The black "boxes" are "visual" sensors that determine when it should stop winding. You may need to adjust the position if your bobbins become over-filled or under-filled. Watch to make sure that the thread goes up and down the bobbin hub as it winds - if it doesn't, you need to adjust the tension. My Long Arm machine book gives this instruction: If the thread bunches at the bottom, reduce tension on tension disc. If thread bunces at the top, increase tension on tension disc.

I've only had this bobbin winder a few days, but so far I absolutely LOVE it. 🤍 It winds a standard "L" bobbin in no time flat, so much faster than the Simplicity SideWinder I'd been using for years...until the power pack bit the dust last week. The instructions for putting the winder together (came in the box) were really confusing, but the instruction sheet said to check-out the item description video on Amazon and that video cleared everything up. I've already wound 22 bobbins with the winder and everything went very smoothly...AND FAST. The only complaint I could make is that my bobbins fit very tightly on the winder spindle, making it a two-handed job to put them on the spindle and taking them off. I can live with that. 😉 I highly recommend this Bobbin Winder sold by HimaPro via Amazon. I feel confident you'll love it like I do. Of course, time alone will tell, and things could happen in the future, but at this point THIS BOBBIN WINDER RANKS "A-1" IN MY BOOK!
