Spool of thread for bobbin!
My friend was given a vintage machine that uses a spool of thread for the bobbin. It works great. Just out of the shop for restore. Now why was that machine not improved upon so we could have one now that uses a spool of thread for the bobbin? I think bobbin spools would be a big selling feature and a new market for thread. It's a treadle machine.

My grandmother's friend had the two spool treadle. It worked fine. My grandmother would take me with her to visit and she would be sewing. I remember my grandmother saying it was a special machine because of the spool for the bobbin. It wouldn't be a big deal to make a canister to hold a spool of thread but a big design change would cost too much now for all the machine makers. Thread companies would love it. A new way to market and sell special thread spools.
