Really helpful

My wife wrote: I'm a beginner so she and my mom who loves to sew recommended I buy this for my thread. She explained to me that using the bobbin winder on my sewing machine to wind all my bobbins can easily wear out the machine over time.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Have doubts

Pros
  • Absolutely awesome!
Cons

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…
