I'm learning! Thanks for the info on the bobbin. I knew it was a horizontal bobbin, didn't realize it didn't have a case. My Janome is a drop in bobbin but has a case. Now I am wondering if I am thinking of the right part. My 15-91 - vertical bobbin - has a case. Feel like this is such a dumb question to ask - but the case is the piece that the bobbin goes in, then you place the case in the machine, right?
Is there any other question I should be asking about this machine? Seems a good price for this area - everyone is asking $200 to $300 easily for machines that look in very bad shape and with no cabinets or cases.
