    • It really works!
Size: Compact: 5.5"L x 4"W x 2.9"H
My sewing machine bobbin winder quit working. It’s an older machine so parts are hard to find. I bought this to wind the size 15 bobbin and it works well. Would buy again.

    • Bobbin winder
Size: Compact: 5.5"L x 4"W x 2.9"H
I love, love this bobbin winder. In just a few minutes, I have 5 bobbins wound and ready to go. Getting ready for quilt retreats is easy peasy. You don't need to unthread your machine to wind a bobbin.

    • This thing is amazing!
Size: Compact: 5.5"L x 4"W x 2.9"H
I got this because I was tired of having to re-thread my sewing machine just to fill a bobbin. What a treat that it fills the bobbin SO FAST!!! On the machine, I'd start the winding and then do something else while it finished. With this, I don't even have time to pick up something else - its already done! It winds with good tension and reasonably evenly (more evenly than my machine!) - no issues so far. It looks/feels a little on the cheesy side, with what seems like flimsy plastic pieces, but wow! - those pieces work fast! And really, we're just talking about winding thread, for goodness sake - it doesn't need to be super strong, just super functional. And it certainly is that! I use the AC adaptor, and just keep it plugged in. It's a neat little case that closes right up - so it doesn't even get dusty. Definitely a good purchase! ... show more

    • Poor calibration
Size: Compact: 5.5"L x 4"W x 2.9"H
This is the third Simplicity bobbin winder I have owned and it is NOT worth it. The one I purchased 20 years ago finally wore out after winding thousands of bobbins beautifully. The last two (purchased in 2025) don't fit the bobbins well and only wind the bobbins half full, if that. I purchased the second one assuming that the first bad 2025 model was a fluke, but it is even worse. ... show more

    • Works
Size: Compact: 5.5"L x 4"W x 2.9"H
It works. It is a bit cheaply made. It winds up perfectly. I use the big cones of thread most of the time. I had a cone stand that has an extender bar that I use when using these cones for my regular sewing machine.. After playing around with it a bit on the extender pole, I finally figured out to make it extended as high as it would go and it worked great. No jiggly spool and it wound it smoothly and evenly. It is hard to get the bobbin on and off the holder. But it can be done. It’s just super tight. You need to move the stopper over to the bobbin before you start winding. Think it is a bit overpriced for the quality of it though. ... show more

    • Shame on Simplicity
Size: Compact: 5.5"L x 4"W x 2.9"H
It's shame they did not put more into this little gadget. It's very cheaply made, like... Chinese 1$ toy cheap. No one seems to make a bobbin winder that is truly any good. I read a review on this compared to the 99$ version of the same thing and she said that honestly this one was the better of the 2. How sad is that? Yes it winds bobbins. I won't say they are beautifully wound bobbins but it does wind them. I want to say it's a sorry piece of crap, but I'll refrain because it does do the intended job and for 26$ it's a handy back up choice. I had to have it because I broke the bobbin plate on my Janome S7 and while waiting for the replacement part I needed to wind bobbins. I looked at every available machine on the web and Amazon at price points from this to 128$, none have good reviews and are completely hit and miss as to function and quality. So here we are. For me this will only be used as a backup source and not as something I would want to use every day. The bobbin was tough getting on the spindle, I had to jam it on there. The thread spool holder pulls up and is terribly wobbly, epic design fail. 🤷 The stop start button can get stuck down. It's a bit ridiculous really. ... show more
