Simplicity Sidewinder - How to use your machine

The Simplicity Sidewinder provides a fun and easy way to wind bobbins with the touch of a button. It's a handy size and battery operated so you can use it anywhere.

Use this video to learn how to set up the machine and start winding. And choose from two settings: controlling the winding with the button, or engaging the arm to allow the machine to run hands-free.

You don't need to set up your regular machine to prepare for your project, and it's perfect for those with vintage machines with no bobbin winding function. Also great to take to classes, or to wind bobbins when you don't want to unthread your needle when your bobbin runs out.

Measures 3" (7.5cm) H x 5" (12.7cm) W x 3" (7.5cm) D

[bogbrither]

The thread being hand-held while winding on the bobbin keeps snapping and getting lost in the bobbin 😢
