Keep your longarm quilting workflow moving with the Handi Quilter HQ Bobbin Winder – QM00500. Designed to efficiently wind M-class bobbins, this dedicated bobbin winder gives you adjustable control over winding speed and thread tension so you can prepare bobbins to suit your quilting thread and project.
Instead of stopping your quilting machine to wind another bobbin, use the HQ Bobbin Winder to prepare multiple bobbins in advance. This makes it especially useful for long quilting sessions where having pre-wound bobbins ready can save time.
Why Choose the HQ Bobbin Winder?
Adjustable Winding Speed
Control the winding speed to suit the thread you're using and your preferred winding process.
Adjustable Thread Tension
The tension adjustment allows you to control how firmly the thread is wound onto the bobbin.
Designed for M-Class Bobbins
The HQ Bobbin Winder is specifically designed to wind M-class bobbins, the larger-capacity bobbins commonly used with Handi Quilter longarm machines.
Prepare Multiple Bobbins in Advance
Wind several bobbins before starting a project so you can spend more time quilting and less time stopping to prepare another bobbin.
Useful for Different Threads
Adjustable settings allow the winder to accommodate a variety of quilting threads.
How the HQ Bobbin Winder Works
The HQ Bobbin Winder uses adjustable speed and tension settings to control the winding process. Proper setup is important for achieving evenly wound bobbins.
For consistent results, Handi Quilter recommends making sure the bobbin is pushed fully onto the spindle and adjusting the tension and winding settings appropriately for the thread being used.
Compatibility
The HQ Bobbin Winder is designed for winding M-class bobbins used with compatible Handi Quilter longarm machines.
Handi Quilter includes bobbin winders with its longarm machines, and the QM00500 is also available as an accessory or replacement for customers who need a separate bobbin-winding solution.
Important: Bobbin compatibility and machine compatibility are not necessarily the same thing. Verify that your machine uses the appropriate M-class bobbin before ordering.
