They do, sort of. My Janome has a seperate spindle so that I can wind the bobbin without removing the thread. Cool!

That is what is nice about Husqvarna Viking. Every once in a while they poll their users to see what they want in a sewing machine. When I got my Diamond a few months ago I was thrilled to see something on it that had been on my list of needed improvements. I said to my Dealer friend,"Hey, they listened to me!!" The higher end machines have auto sensors to detect thread size etc. You set what kind of fabric you are sewing with and it does the rest. It even adjusts when you go over a thick seam without bogging down. And I understand that they are starting to do these things on the lower end machines as well.

I have always wished I could use a spool of thread instead of a bobbin, should be some way of installing a spool and the thread that used to come from the bobbin would last longer and one would not have to stop and wind another bobbin.
Perhaps one ofyour women could invent this and save us all the time we use up winding bobbins.

Don't you find that in lots of things, though? If the people who design things had to use them for 6 months, they would be designed to work well with no messing, changing, tinkering! Hate the tension thing and oh, the little bobbins is so irritating!! When I'm doing a big quilt, I wind 2 or 3 bobbins to just pop in when one runs out! Usually happens an inch or two from the finish line!!

I'm sure a man developed the mammography machine. I've always said that if a man had to put his testicles in that machine, they'd find a different way to do it.

Would love a wider and deeper gap so a whole quilt could fit in more easily,the bigger bobbin or whole whole spool, and a sensor who speaks to me in an understanding tone to let me know my triangles just wont fit so adjust them before I sew...no ripping out !!!

Still laughing here..although John has a quite different expression on his face ........

I don't think you should have to put thread in any more holes than the needle! I have a Tin Lizzie (long arm machine)and have to thread about 9 places that could be little hooks or not at all! I won't tell you what my MOM said when I was cussing the man that made all those little holes!!! I am 60+ and my eyes aren't as good and my hands shake and I am always in a hurry! I don't like pink either but my Liz winds bobbins while I am sewing! LOVE that!
