I do own a couple much more expensive bobbin holders but reach for this one the most. Just a straight forward bobbin holder that plainly works. The glass inserts prevent any snagged thread just as good as a ceramic insert does in my humble opinion. I even use it with spider wire and have no issues with frying or breaking. Inexpensive so you can have multiple loaded with different threads at the ready. I use dental floss threaders to start the thread on these which work excellent. The tube is a bit narrow on this bobbin holder but easy enough to thread. Give one a try I donΓ’β¬β’t think you will be disappointed.
