If a machine doesn't have a vertical spool pin or the pin base is recessed
so that some projection on the machine causes the carousel's base to drag,
the Bobbin Winder Adapter is the perfect tool.
The Bobbin Winder Adapter is merely pushed
over the bobbin winder as if it were a bobbin – and the carousel is inserted
over it. It adapts the thread carousel to the vertical bobbin winder
on most modern
machines.
The Bobbin Winder Adapter also has a removable lower
thread guide for machines that need the thread to enter from a low angle.
It is always necessary to balance the load on the Color-Go-Round thread
carousel. The Bobbin Winder Adapter is fragile so that a seriously unbalanced
load will break it before any damage can be done to the Bobbin Winder mechanism.
Some embroidery machines benefit from a custom base for the Color-Go-Round
thread carousel. View the HoopStop™ and
Carousel Base Chart for the proper base for your machine brand and
model.
