You may not believe this, but I was just saying that same thing to my sister a few days ago. Who the heck invented the bobbin??!![/quote]
And why can't someone invent a better bobbin? If we can send a man to the moon, heat food in seconds and have a phone with us 24/7 someone should be able to fix this measly old bobbin thing. We have been waiting long enough.

Well my thing is I have a lot of extra bobbins, and I am always trying to use up what thread is on them. So I have no complaint there. If I am starting a big job I just wind a few bobbins fo it so I do not have to stop to wind.
My machine beeps as the bobbin is getting low.
My machine never need to be oiled. Very low maintance. Never had two of my machines in ever. My 20 year old Viking has been in maybe 3 times. Never needs oil.
My machine also has the needle up / needle down
and a larger base? Well I already hater to carry my machine to and from sewing classes.
My sapce between the needle and the neck is plenty for rollong a quile so a ot of these subjestions are out there, just have to pay to get them. Quilting is not a poor mans hobby. I have the machine can't aford the fabric's LOL
We will alway's want more. I have dreamed of a long arm for years.... getting one will probably never happen. So I do fine on my home machine.
My machine also has a needle threader which is so nice when doing embroidery and having to change threads so often.
My friend got a table and measured her machine, then her husband cut the hole out and made a board under neith to hold her machine for quilting.... it works great.

I don't see why we should need a longarm. Why can't they extend the arm of regular sewing machines so it would be easy to quilt on them? I don't really want another machine around.[/quote]
What great ideas! To be able to slide the arm out to make the space larger for quilting AND if it had a stitch regulator like Bernina offers AND a spool instead of a bobbin PLUS the computerized extras already on high end machines.......A PERFECT MACHINE!
Really now, I'm sure it can be done. Someone mentioned the going to the moon thing. If they can do that, then....
Who has a handy husband who can build these?
