Heresy? I'm beginning to dislike one feature of the 15 clones and others

Maybe because your giant hands and fingers haven't gotten the bobbin case in correctly. ;>

Do NOT get a Brother 1500 PQ. Woman's hands here but three doors to open and small space to try and maneuver that bobbin case out of...bad. Then getting the renewed bobbin and case back in is even worse. Have cramps in hands and neck and bad words flowing like wine. Other than that, I love this machine.

Another idea is to use a hemostat.
Hope that helps?

cricket,
Well, bobbins are not the problem. It's the cases on the end loading machines. Since you have to release the latch and pull the case out at the same time, I'm not sure how you could do that with a tool. Seems like it would take fingers to do that.

Joe,
Just like I believe there is someone for everyone, the great variety of machine brands and types means there is a machine for everyone who wants to sew, including even guys with big hands. Says she with the tiny hands.

That is one thing I don't like about some of the old sewing machines is that the bobbin is loaded at the side. I didn't mind it much when I was younger but now that I am in my 60's my hands don't work as well and it is getting harder to do. But I still love to sew on the older ones best.
