I looked at the bobbin winders on eBay and decided on the Automatic High Speed unit made by QuiltingMasters. I paid $99 in 2013, and I've not had any trouble with it at all. I just checked eBay, and the new ones are running about $75. I'd buy a new one and practice getting the tension just right, and ensure it's loading the thread evenly. It take a little practice, but it's not too difficult. If it's not working for you, it can be returned. Good luck with your search.
skipping stitches

Have you reviewed page 108 in the manual that offers some explanations of why it could be skipping stitches? I would rethread everything and start over with a finer thread in the bobbin and the upper thread like Bottom Line, or Glide. Pages 23-25 of the manual shows how to set the needle. You need to match the size of the needle to the thickness of the thread. If you're using a thicker thread like Perma Core, YLI, Omni you will need to use a little larger needle. Are you pulling down 6-8" of bobbin thread so you can bring up your bobbin thread and have enough upper thread and bobbin thread to hold on to when you start to quilt? I hope one of these tips help.
