My Janome has the drop in bobbin, but what's interesting is what I found in some of my on-line searches trying to fix the tension problem with fmq on batik. Someone suggested to actually put the bobbin in backwards...I was so frustrated, I gave it a try and it was much better! Not sure this would be helpful on a Sweet 16, but it worked in my Janome

But I will keep it in mind. I don't know if mine would even work if I put it in backwards and I can stitch for a long time between backlashes. Thanks for mentioning this point tho'.
