How many times have you found yourself in mid-project only to have your bobbin thread run out without a spare ready to replace it? With the Deluxe SideWinder from Simplicity, gone are the days of un-threading and re-threading your sewing machine to fill a new bobbin. Wind as many bobbins as needed for your project or, if you are a seamstress or quilter who frequently works with a favorite thread, the sidewinder makes short work of preparing multiple bobbins to have at the ready.
From the compact size, convenient for storage or travel, to the practical storage compartments in the lid, ideal for stashing away the power cord, bobbins, or thread, the Deluxe SideWinder is another well-designed product from Simplicity. It features a built in carry handle, rubber feet on the base, and even a handy thread cutter.
Setting up and using the Deluxe SideWinder for the first time is a quick process. Simply remove it from the box and plug in the power cord. The machine comes with a yellow spindle already inserted and includes additional spindles in green, red, and blue. If necessary, remove the yellow spindle and replace it with the correctly colored spindle to fit your bobbin. A handy Bobbin Chart on the instruction sheet well help you determine the correct spindle required to fit your bobbin for all makes and models for sewing machines, embroidery machines, or long arm quilting machines. The spindles sit snugly in the spindle slot so when removing a spindle for the first time use a firm grasp and pull straight out. I promise it will slide out and a new spindle will pop right back in its place! Unless you change machines on a regular basis, this isn’t something you should have to do often.
Now that you’ve selected the correct spindle for your bobbin, you are ready to wind! Place your spool of thread on the raised thread holder. With an adjustable thread guide bar, the Deluxe SideWinder will accept different heights of spools from small spools to large cones. Make sure the guide bar loop is positioned directly over the spool. Run your thread through the loop of the guide bar, through the metal eye, between the tension disks and finally wrap it around your bobbin. Adjust the bobbin fill knob so that you can wind the correct amount of thread needed for your project. Turn the SideWinder on by pressing the power button on the front of the machine and press the start button when ready. It’s always a good idea to check the tension on your spool to make sure it’s not too tight or too loose. In seconds you’ll have a perfectly wound bobbin.
The Deluxe SideWinder is yet another time saving device from Simplicity. I recently decided to start machine piecing with a common thread, so this nifty gadget is really going to come in handy. To learn more about The Deluxe SideWinder, visit Simplicity Creative Group online.
