I guess I asked the question incorrectly. I have a Brother Espire for my quilting and sewing needs. LOVE it! I have two Amaya XT's for my embroidery needs. What I want to do is occasionally wind my own bobbins to be used in the XT. My Brother doesn't wind size L bobbins and I have not found a source for pre-wound colored bobbins. Only white and black. I'm looking for a winder just for the times I want to embroider free-standing lace, etc. on the Amaya XT and white or black thread in the bobbin is unacceptable for the particular project. Anyone know of a bobbin winder for the Amaya XT? Thank you all for trying to help.

I just checked and our standard bobbin size fits on the winder that is on the machine. Cost for a factory refurb SE-270D - $299. http://www.sewvacdirect.com/brother_se270d_fs.html?k=SE270D&se=adwords&p=0&gclid=COiWhtaSzo4CFQQjPAoddAiL-A So, you get a nice machine for normal sewing... back up embroidery (for say names and simple one color designs) and a bobbin winder all for $100 more than the bobbin winder ;) Of course, I am sure that the bobbin winder alone is faster but if you are just doing small runs of specific colors, it's a thought.

I think they are from the 1950's and can be found at garage sales and E-Bay. Great machine for straight stitching too.
