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.

I just bought a new Viking Sapphire and you do not have to unthread the needle to wind a bobbin. Now if it would just learn to talk and tell me I have sewn an entire seam without any bobbin thread!

give it time.

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

I just had a thought....

The sewing machine was designed by a MAN and he was RIGHT HANDED. All sewing machines are righthanded.

I've never thought of this before. Whoa.

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

That is so cute! There was a pink Brother here on CL, but he wanted $80-so I passed. What kind of machine is this!

In an ideal world lol

I would like to be able to pick the bits that I want, to make a customised machine. For example, the lights and buttonhole maker from Husqvarna, IDT from Pfaff, stitch regulator and large bobbin from Bernina, the photographic positioning/embroidery placement device from Brother, automatic tension from Babylock and the ability to sew through any weight of fabric without groaning...

Yes, as you type, I will tell you that one of my machines used to work with the pressure of my knee against a handle that was attached to the front of the machine...

The 440 and 830 Bernina can do this , I dont stop embroidering to fill bobbins .
