And so if you go to the link I posted from YouTube, then click on the downloadhelper Icon by the address bar and click the down arrow and select one of the versions to save, what does it do? IT should give you an option to save then it should just plug along until it's finished downloading it and you can watch it at will from your downloads folder...
What about the lower resolution setting? It's been years since you could even get a dial-up plan here, so I have no way of testing, but there's no reason for it not to work at all.
The thing about having a finger on the spool while sewing is that I quickly run out of hands to sew with. One for guiding, one for holding the spool, one for pins, etc... having to hold the spool just seems like a partial solution. Even just bobbin winding that way is no fun: One to hold the spool, one to tension the thread... (I like the tension I get better from tensioning the thread rather than weighting the spool)
Yes, a person should wind relatively slowly, but I provide extra tension when I wind, and it doesn't seem to cause many issues with the way I sew, even at extremely high speed sewing on a LA.
