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.

Heck we may end up with sewing machines with no feet pedal in the future(and as I type this I bet someone will tell me they exist).
Or we can just set the material in, and say sew seam and it'll do that work. That though may take the fun out of it though

Hmnnnn....I have a very old Elna that I now use as a backup machine and it seems it was designed for a left hander and I had quite a time when I first started using it as everything seems to be opposite of every other machine I have used. I actually think it is about the best machine I have used but I may change my opinion after I get used to my new Viking.

Yes, go pink and please no tension issues. also a bobbin area that could just handle a spool. Oh and an arm area enough for a king size quilt to fit under for free motion quilting. LOL
this one is slanted to go to my soon to be daughter in law

In an ideal world lol
