keithski122 Report post Posted January 2, 2017 As in the title really.At the moment I'm using a top loader which I find handy to check how full the bobbin is, just pull the plate back and check(even in the middle of sewing something.However I'm thinking of getting a new machine and bottom loaders seem easier and cheaper to buy.How do people get on with bottom loaders? Please share you experience. By the way I do car upholstery so running out of thread while doing a visible seam is never a good thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gottaknow Report post Posted January 2, 2017 I prefer the vertical hook machines (top loader) for several reasons. Not the least of which is keeping track of your bobbin thread. They are visually easier to diagnose problems and if properly set, can sew a wide variety of materials using a broader selection of threads. Not to say horizontal hook machines aren't decent, I just prefer the other. Regards, Eric Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
