Plastic Machine Bobbins - 5/Pkg Review

Plastic Machine Bobbins - 5/Pkg
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ordered these for my mother who had recently purchased a Brother CS6000I sewing machine, with uses the larger (11.5mm, 7/16th-inch) bobbins. Although (at least at the time of purchase) this product appeared when you searched for the correct Brother part number AND the CS6000I appeared as a buying suggestion on this item's product page, it is important to note that these bobbins are of the smaller type, therefore NOT compatible with the Brother CS6000I. Since "customers who bought this product also bought" the CS6000I, it looks as if it might be a common mistake.
The product itself seems to be of good quality if you need the smaller bobbins, but the important compatibility information that is present on the back of the packaging is missing on the product page.

Portable Bobbin Winder Review

Portable Bobbin Winder
Average Reviews:

It appears from the reviews that you either love this little gizmo, or you hate it. I'm afraid I come down on the latter side of the issue.
It should be such a useful little item, and I wish I could recommend it, but I honestly can't. I don't have much patience, but I am known for my creativity, and I exhausted both trying to get this product to work as advertised.
Thinking that my problem was the thread I was using and that the elasticity of nylon might be causing issues with the tension, I tried cotton thread with little more success. At least the nylon thread was easy enough to cut off the bobbin; cotton thread was a pain. I was going to try silk, but I decided even I wasn't that masochistic.
The bobbin tends to wind unevenly because the tension mechanism grabs the thread and becomes jammed. This causes the wildly winding bobbin to bunch the thread into the already assembled mass. Even when the mechanism is winding properly, the jumping of the bobbin creates major loops of thread that then get embedded into the oncoming material. Any thought of putting this mess into a machine would be shear insanity.
It seems highly likely that it is the speed of the winder that causes the problems I've seen. Certainly the ability to control the speed with the switch would have helped with all of the problems I've addressed. Unfortunately it doesn't even turn the machine off, only on, and one has to pop the lever designed to stop the machine when the bobbin is full in order to stop a miss-winding thread from doing any more damage.
This product is such a good idea. As one of the other reviewers notes, it really is a bother to have to unwind and rewind you machine to do your bobbins, and there really isn't any reason the idea shouldn't work. I note that there is a "new" model, but after dealing with this one and spending what I did to purchase it, I find myself unwilling to throw good money after bad should the "new" model work no better than the "old" one did.
A far better plan, certainly a cheaper and less frustrating one and the one I intend to employ, is to wind enough bobbins at the start of my project so that I don't have to use either my machine or a bobbin winder mid-project. Bobbins aren't that expensive, and I could have bought quite a few for what I paid for this device!
A little before its time, perhaps. Definitely needs to work out the bugs.

Brother 40-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine CE4000 Review

Brother 40-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine CE4000

I teach sewing lessons in Spring Texas (www.GetSewing.com). I was tired of students bring "problem" machines. I bought this machine for because two students brought ones like it and I was impressed with the quality for the price range. A good thing is, you can sew very slowly. The machine goes when you press on the foot pedal, it doesn't growl and hesitate. You can also sew fast too. The only thing I don't like on this model is that every time you stop, it stops with the needle down in the fabric and you must turn the hand wheel to move it up. It would be much more useful if the needle stopped in the position.

Just a perfect little system to store bobbins! Takes up very little space, so you can keep it handy, keeps all the thread contained so no stragglers, color-coded so you can keep track of cotton vs. polyester, for example. Does its job perfectly.

Brother SABOBCLIP Bobbin Clips, Pack of 10 Review

Brother SABOBCLIP Bobbin Clips, Pack of 10

I recently got a new brothers sewing/embroidery machine and it came with four bobbins, each with these wierd little bobbin clips. I didn't get it a first, until I wond all four bobbins, put the clips on them and clipped them all together. It's great, the thread doesn't unwind and get everywhere and with them all clipped together they're easy to find. But it got even better! The machine came with a little box to hold needles, screw driver, bobbins, thread puller, feet, etc. Well in the lid of the box are four pegs that the bobbin clips can clip on to as well, keeping them at the top of the box and completely out the way. I love these things. They make having prewond bobbins convient again.
