sorry! i read the email without thinking. you were talking about winding the bobbins. i am definity going to use this, so i will practicing it tonight. i really want to get some winding done. i'll bet it takes no time by rolling the string up or down the leg. it was working great with the dowel and its the same concept, but i will get more spins per push with the string. that is a better ratio than some of the bobbin winders.
