I am still waiting for them to invent a bobbin-less machine... run the thread straight off the spool :D:D:D

That would be wonderful;> My Bernina 830 has a ginormous (:>) bobbin and it's so hard to go back to small ones again. I thought most longarms had huge bobbins too? Which ones don't? I would really have second thoughts about buying a longarm with a small bobbin.

Ooh! Ooh! I'm checking out that Bernina. I was going to ask my dealer about Janome and the Ginormous Dream but I'll go check out Bernina while I'm at it.

And, count bobbin changes until then. Thanks to the OP. :0)

Most use an M bobbin, which is larger than the other bobbins. I think it is still a pain when they run out in the middle of a row on the quilt.

I go through at least a couple an hour piecing...sometimes eight a day or so, depends on what else I am doing....

I am lucky my longarm does a great job filling spare bobbins while quilting. Love that. If some one could design a ginormous bobbin definately would be a gazillionaire.
