One Sweet Bobbin

http://ekichbobbin.com

If you have ever though about getting a pimped out automatic bobbin, take a look at the Erich Bobbin. I've just switched to it from the standard ceramics, and I am impressed by the ease and quality. The bobbin has a short learning curve, and is easy to operate. You don't need to wind a proprietary spool, and it works with most standard bobbins like UNI, Danville and Gudebrod. Others like Benecchi may need a bit of tweaking.
