    WOW!!!! you guys want the exact thing I want!!!! I've never understood the tiny bobbins. The Longarm I have has larger bobbins than a regular machine...but STILL -- would be nice for it to hold a LOT more!!!

    the commercial machines have them. They wind while you sew.

    yes men design machines and I don't believe they listen to those who use the machines.

    I've been winding bobbins from my second spool holder for years on my Pfaff. Was I not supposed to be able to do that?

    I don't get into the pink thing (I guess I'm a mutant girl) but I do think that those old Black ones with the gold were pretty.

    You can also do this on the featherweight, as long as you have an extra spool holder!

    I have a pfaff 7550. I'll have to check it tonight and see if I too can wind a bobbin while sewing. It has a second spool holder but I'm not sure that the threads (sewing & winding) would interfere with each other. Hopefully, they won't.

    Really pretty pink Morse. I agree totally w/this thread. I just told my DH that I think most of the old cabinets were designed for men. My Kenmore cabinet has a knee control and I have to set my chair higher to reach it. I am 5 ft 6inch (not exactly petite) I know some guy w/average height of 5'10 likely designed it. :roll:

    I agree with y'all who would like a bobbin to hold a spool's worth of thread.

    I can't wind a bobbin and sew at the same time on my Pfaff 7570 but I do like not having to rethread my machine every time I need a new bobbin (I wind 4 or 5 at a time to make sure I have a back up). I can wind my bobbin from the machine with the needle threaded and use the pressure foot, etc. but I prefer using the second spool holder over that.
