I love sewing with it. Made a whole quilt with it last month.

I have always wondered why these didn't become more popular and well used. Hubby is always
telling me that there should be a mchine that takes a spool of thread underneath so bobbin and thread would run out at the same time. Never seen one in person in exceptioal condition.

So, the issue with these is that the machine when making the loop has to go around the bobbin.
Since a two spool has a BIG bobbin, it need a big loop. this limits the speed that the machine can operate at.
Hard to market.
BTW - My 1863 Grover and Baker (The machine that is my Avatar picture here) uses a spool of thread above and below.

There is a video on YouTube (FiddleyBits.com) that shows this machine flat moving! The lady demonstrating the machine said that she didn't find the machine to be at all slow! Since I still don't have mine back in its cabinet, I cannot personally vouch for that! The video is interesting though! I wouldn't buy the machine unless it has its cannister. The cannisters are very expensive and are not very common!

Yes, now this lady really makes this machine move! She even demonstrate free motion quilting, with an attachment she made from a paper clip! It's really remarkable! I can't speak to the speed of the machine, but she sure makes it move!
