Review on Simplicity Sidewinder Portable Bobbin Winder: The Ideal White Companion by Denise Davis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cheap and doesn't work with my Pfaff

I have an old Pfaff but I think they have the same coils although I'm not sure. When I called the dealer and asked what part number or type they had, they told me Pfaff have branded spools. I've been using plastic arch supports for many years, so I figured this would work. I couldn't put a spool on a similar wire on a spindle. I didn't want to press hard because I didn't want to risk breaking it. The product is made very cheaply. Very similar to a toddler toy if you get my meaning. In fact the toys here are better made so I had a feeling they were going to break sooner rather than later so I returned them. If you are interested, I have a synchronous Pfaff 1209 from the 80s. This brand was not mentioned in the "Can't" list.
