No, it isn't any kind of advantage in quilting, especially in the smaller bobbin size - that's why I wondered why they used the 201.
you have to move the machine aside no matter what.
No kidding? I wouldn't have guessed that.
It looks like you could just reach under the frame, change out the bobbin and keep on sewing. Is it the frame getting in your way, or something on the underside of the machine?
With some of my cabinets, I can change out the bobbin from under the cabinet and with some of them, I have to tilt the machine back on the hinges.
I don't know much at all about longarms - I am going to learn soon because I'm going to be renting time on one in a couple of weeks, so maybe some of these mysteries will all be cleared up for me. :)
