Here is the url with pics of the 2 spool machine and the actual spool holder.

After looking at the spool bobbin holder, I surmise that engineering something like this today would create a huge revolution in the thread industry. One could only use a specific spool of thread in the holder and we all know what that means to the industry.
Anyway, I would like ALL of the enhancements already on the wish list. I too, do not think it should be necessary for an average person to have to purchase a long arm machine when it is most definitely possible to design a bigger area on a machine.
Why don't several of us write letters to the big companies and ask some of these "WHY" questions and see what kind of answers we get?

The only way companies listen is if it gets enough mail either for or against something or suggestions that aren't going to cost them a lot of money. No one in this day and age is interested in innovation just for the sake of innovation. The money is not there to go into all kinds of R&D, but if enough people write and say I want, they may, and I said may, listen.

I asked why the bobbin wasn't the same size as the thread, makes sense to me.... she just looked at me, and said' it's the bobbin'. Seems that you should be able to use another cone of thread as a bobbin so you have the same amount on both sides...
Can't hold a spool, becuase we use those huge cones, sometimes with 6,000 yds on them :) But a M bobbin means only 1-3 per quilt, depending upon density of quilting. I usually use 1-2 per lap quilt, which is medium denisty.
