  +url: null
  +body: """
    I watched several sewing videos in preparation to buy a machine. The consensus is that drop-in bobbins are easier for beginners than front-load. Well I’m the kind of person who wants to get to the /expert/ stage & if that means doing things the hard way, so be it. But then the question is, what are the advantages of front-loads?\n
    \n
    Youtube video id `rbhfilt68vI` titled “TESTED Best Sewing Machines for Beginners” suggests that front-load bobbins are more likely to get tangled and jammed. That sounds like an anti-feature for both beginners and experienced users. So why do front-load bobbin designs even exist?\n
    \n
    (edit)\n
    \n
    I think I got my answer. Video `F7GTjrc-m5w` says front-loading enables the machine to go faster and also enables you to switch bobbins mid-task.\n
    \n
    I care more about jamming than speed. But the mid-task swapping sounds useful because I don’t suppose you can predict when it will run out. So I guess I need to consider how much stock to put into the comment about jamming.

    I haven’t come across any significant discussion surrounding this before and I wouldn’t recommend choosing a machine on this basis.\n
    \n
    A front-loading bobbin is only an advantage for changing mid-task if you catch it before the thread runs out, otherwise you’ll be backtracking and starting again anyway once you’ve replaced it. I suppose if there is a viewing window and you can see when it is about to run out then this is an advantage, otherwise you won’t know when to stop and change it anyway until you notice that it has already run out.\n
    \n
    In terms of speed I doubt you will find any typical sewing machine “too slow” unless you plan to sew *a lot* and you want it finished quickly. For a few repairs or alterations and the occasional custom piece speed is not a priority, most of the time you will want to go slower anyway for more control/accuracy.\n
    \n
    I think you need to put less thought into what machine you get and more thought into getting *some* machine and start sewing without thinking so much about details like how the bobbin is loaded. As a beginner these things don’t matter, and by the time you are non-beginner enough for them to matter then you will know what aspects are important to you and if you want to upgrade. As it is, you can’t really jump to making “expert-level” choices because you don’t have the experience to know, for example, if speed is even a priority to you.

    I haven’t come across any significant discussion surrounding this before and I wouldn’t recommend choosing a machine on this basis.\n
    \n
    A front-loading bobbin is only an advantage for changing mid-task if you catch it before the thread runs out, otherwise you’ll be backtracking and starting again anyway once you’ve replaced it. I suppose if there is a viewing window and you can see when it is about to run out then this is an advantage, otherwise you won’t know when to stop and change it anyway until you notice that it has already run out.\n
    \n
    In terms of speed I doubt you will find any typical sewing machine “too slow” unless you plan to sew *a lot* and you want it finished quickly. For a few repairs or alterations and the occasional custom piece speed is not a priority, most of the time you will want to go slower anyway for more control/accuracy.\n
    \n
    I think you need to put less thought into what machine you get and more thought into getting *some* machine and start sewing without thinking so much about details like how the bobbin is loaded. As a beginner these things don’t matter, and by the time you are non-beginner enough for them to matter then you will know what aspects are important to you and if you want to upgrade. As it is, you can’t really jump to making “expert-level” choices because you don’t have the experience to know, for example, if speed is even a priority to you.

    +title: "[answered] Front-load bobbins -- any advantages?  Or only downsides?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I watched several sewing videos in preparation to buy a machine. The consensus is that drop-in bobbins are easier for beginners than front-load. Well I’m the kind of person who wants to get to the /expert/ stage & if that means doing things the hard way, so be it. But then the question is, what are the advantages of front-loads?\n
      \n
      Youtube video id `rbhfilt68vI` titled “TESTED Best Sewing Machines for Beginners” suggests that front-load bobbins are more likely to get tangled and jammed. That sounds like an anti-feature for both beginners and experienced users. So why do front-load bobbin designs even exist?\n
      \n
      (edit)\n
      \n
      I think I got my answer. Video `F7GTjrc-m5w` says front-loading enables the machine to go faster and also enables you to switch bobbins mid-task.\n
      \n
      I care more about jamming than speed. But the mid-task swapping sounds useful because I don’t suppose you can predict when it will run out. So I guess I need to consider how much stock to put into the comment about jamming.

      I haven’t come across any significant discussion surrounding this before and I wouldn’t recommend choosing a machine on this basis.\n
      \n
      A front-loading bobbin is only an advantage for changing mid-task if you catch it before the thread runs out, otherwise you’ll be backtracking and starting again anyway once you’ve replaced it. I suppose if there is a viewing window and you can see when it is about to run out then this is an advantage, otherwise you won’t know when to stop and change it anyway until you notice that it has already run out.\n
      \n
      In terms of speed I doubt you will find any typical sewing machine “too slow” unless you plan to sew *a lot* and you want it finished quickly. For a few repairs or alterations and the occasional custom piece speed is not a priority, most of the time you will want to go slower anyway for more control/accuracy.\n
      \n
      I think you need to put less thought into what machine you get and more thought into getting *some* machine and start sewing without thinking so much about details like how the bobbin is loaded. As a beginner these things don’t matter, and by the time you are non-beginner enough for them to matter then you will know what aspects are important to you and if you want to upgrade. As it is, you can’t really jump to making “expert-level” choices because you don’t have the experience to know, for example, if speed is even a priority to you.

    I just went to a street market and lifted¹ a dozen or so machines. I bought the heaviest one figuring it has the fewest plastic parts. It’s a Singer from the late '60’s. Front-load bobbin. Found the [user manual](https://ia802906.us.archive.org/28/items/singer-237-user-manual-en_202005/Singer-237_User-Manual_EN.pdf) and [service manual](https://web.archive.org/web/20230601224202/https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/manuals/singer-class-237-service-manual.pdf) online.\n
    \n
    The one job I’m uncertain of is whether it can hem denim. The user manual says it can sew denim with a size 16 needle and canvas with a size 18 needle, but if I’m hemming denim then I think it must be able to penetrate 6 layers of denim (where the vertical seam gets folded). The manual makes no mention of layers. Motor is 85 watts.\n
    \n
    I realized well after buying that there is no “arm”. I suspect that will be quite inconvenient with hemming in my case because I was planning to do non-destructive technique: undo the original hem and without cutting fold it up as high up the leg as needed. That will be a pain when the cuff can’t wrap around the base.\n

    I just went to a street market and lifted¹ a dozen or so machines. I bought the heaviest one figuring it has the fewest plastic parts. It’s a Singer from the late '60’s. Front-load bobbin. Found the [user manual](https://ia802906.us.archive.org/28/items/singer-237-user-manual-en_202005/Singer-237_User-Manual_EN.pdf) and [service manual](https://web.archive.org/web/20230601224202/https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/manuals/singer-class-237-service-manual.pdf) online.\n
    \n
    The one job I’m uncertain of is whether it can hem denim. The user manual says it can sew denim with a size 16 needle and canvas with a size 18 needle, but if I’m hemming denim then I think it must be able to penetrate 6 layers of denim (where the vertical seam gets folded). The manual makes no mention of layers. Motor is 85 watts.\n
    \n
    I realized well after buying that there is no “arm”. I suspect that will be quite inconvenient with hemming in my case because I was planning to do non-destructive technique: undo the original hem and without cutting fold it up as high up the leg as needed. That will be a pain when the cuff can’t wrap around the base.\n

    +title: "[answered] Front-load bobbins -- any advantages?  Or only downsides?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I watched several sewing videos in preparation to buy a machine. The consensus is that drop-in bobbins are easier for beginners than front-load. Well I’m the kind of person who wants to get to the /expert/ stage & if that means doing things the hard way, so be it. But then the question is, what are the advantages of front-loads?\n
      \n
      Youtube video id `rbhfilt68vI` titled “TESTED Best Sewing Machines for Beginners” suggests that front-load bobbins are more likely to get tangled and jammed. That sounds like an anti-feature for both beginners and experienced users. So why do front-load bobbin designs even exist?\n
      \n
      (edit)\n
      \n
      I think I got my answer. Video `F7GTjrc-m5w` says front-loading enables the machine to go faster and also enables you to switch bobbins mid-task.\n
      \n
      I care more about jamming than speed. But the mid-task swapping sounds useful because I don’t suppose you can predict when it will run out. So I guess I need to consider how much stock to put into the comment about jamming.

    +title: "[answered] Front-load bobbins -- any advantages?  Or only downsides?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I watched several sewing videos in preparation to buy a machine. The consensus is that drop-in bobbins are easier for beginners than front-load. Well I’m the kind of person who wants to get to the /expert/ stage & if that means doing things the hard way, so be it. But then the question is, what are the advantages of front-loads?\n
      \n
      Youtube video id `rbhfilt68vI` titled “TESTED Best Sewing Machines for Beginners” suggests that front-load bobbins are more likely to get tangled and jammed. That sounds like an anti-feature for both beginners and experienced users. So why do front-load bobbin designs even exist?\n
      \n
      (edit)\n
      \n
      I think I got my answer. Video `F7GTjrc-m5w` says front-loading enables the machine to go faster and also enables you to switch bobbins mid-task.\n
      \n
      I care more about jamming than speed. But the mid-task swapping sounds useful because I don’t suppose you can predict when it will run out. So I guess I need to consider how much stock to put into the comment about jamming.

        I haven’t come across any significant discussion surrounding this before and I wouldn’t recommend choosing a machine on this basis.\n
        \n
        A front-loading bobbin is only an advantage for changing mid-task if you catch it before the thread runs out, otherwise you’ll be backtracking and starting again anyway once you’ve replaced it. I suppose if there is a viewing window and you can see when it is about to run out then this is an advantage, otherwise you won’t know when to stop and change it anyway until you notice that it has already run out.\n
        \n
        In terms of speed I doubt you will find any typical sewing machine “too slow” unless you plan to sew *a lot* and you want it finished quickly. For a few repairs or alterations and the occasional custom piece speed is not a priority, most of the time you will want to go slower anyway for more control/accuracy.\n
        \n
        I think you need to put less thought into what machine you get and more thought into getting *some* machine and start sewing without thinking so much about details like how the bobbin is loaded. As a beginner these things don’t matter, and by the time you are non-beginner enough for them to matter then you will know what aspects are important to you and if you want to upgrade. As it is, you can’t really jump to making “expert-level” choices because you don’t have the experience to know, for example, if speed is even a priority to you.

    +title: "[answered] Front-load bobbins -- any advantages?  Or only downsides?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I watched several sewing videos in preparation to buy a machine. The consensus is that drop-in bobbins are easier for beginners than front-load. Well I’m the kind of person who wants to get to the /expert/ stage & if that means doing things the hard way, so be it. But then the question is, what are the advantages of front-loads?\n
      \n
      Youtube video id `rbhfilt68vI` titled “TESTED Best Sewing Machines for Beginners” suggests that front-load bobbins are more likely to get tangled and jammed. That sounds like an anti-feature for both beginners and experienced users. So why do front-load bobbin designs even exist?\n
      \n
      (edit)\n
      \n
      I think I got my answer. Video `F7GTjrc-m5w` says front-loading enables the machine to go faster and also enables you to switch bobbins mid-task.\n
      \n
      I care more about jamming than speed. But the mid-task swapping sounds useful because I don’t suppose you can predict when it will run out. So I guess I need to consider how much stock to put into the comment about jamming.

        I haven’t come across any significant discussion surrounding this before and I wouldn’t recommend choosing a machine on this basis.\n
        \n
        A front-loading bobbin is only an advantage for changing mid-task if you catch it before the thread runs out, otherwise you’ll be backtracking and starting again anyway once you’ve replaced it. I suppose if there is a viewing window and you can see when it is about to run out then this is an advantage, otherwise you won’t know when to stop and change it anyway until you notice that it has already run out.\n
        \n
        In terms of speed I doubt you will find any typical sewing machine “too slow” unless you plan to sew *a lot* and you want it finished quickly. For a few repairs or alterations and the occasional custom piece speed is not a priority, most of the time you will want to go slower anyway for more control/accuracy.\n
        \n
        I think you need to put less thought into what machine you get and more thought into getting *some* machine and start sewing without thinking so much about details like how the bobbin is loaded. As a beginner these things don’t matter, and by the time you are non-beginner enough for them to matter then you will know what aspects are important to you and if you want to upgrade. As it is, you can’t really jump to making “expert-level” choices because you don’t have the experience to know, for example, if speed is even a priority to you.

      I just went to a street market and lifted¹ a dozen or so machines. I bought the heaviest one figuring it has the fewest plastic parts. It’s a Singer from the late '60’s. Front-load bobbin. Found the [user manual](https://ia802906.us.archive.org/28/items/singer-237-user-manual-en_202005/Singer-237_User-Manual_EN.pdf) and [service manual](https://web.archive.org/web/20230601224202/https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/manuals/singer-class-237-service-manual.pdf) online.\n
      \n
      The one job I’m uncertain of is whether it can hem denim. The user manual says it can sew denim with a size 16 needle and canvas with a size 18 needle, but if I’m hemming denim then I think it must be able to penetrate 6 layers of denim (where the vertical seam gets folded). The manual makes no mention of layers. Motor is 85 watts.\n
      \n
      I realized well after buying that there is no “arm”. I suspect that will be quite inconvenient with hemming in my case because I was planning to do non-destructive technique: undo the original hem and without cutting fold it up as high up the leg as needed. That will be a pain when the cuff can’t wrap around the base.\n

    +title: "[answered] Front-load bobbins -- any advantages?  Or only downsides?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I watched several sewing videos in preparation to buy a machine. The consensus is that drop-in bobbins are easier for beginners than front-load. Well I’m the kind of person who wants to get to the /expert/ stage & if that means doing things the hard way, so be it. But then the question is, what are the advantages of front-loads?\n
      \n
      Youtube video id `rbhfilt68vI` titled “TESTED Best Sewing Machines for Beginners” suggests that front-load bobbins are more likely to get tangled and jammed. That sounds like an anti-feature for both beginners and experienced users. So why do front-load bobbin designs even exist?\n
      \n
      (edit)\n
      \n
      I think I got my answer. Video `F7GTjrc-m5w` says front-loading enables the machine to go faster and also enables you to switch bobbins mid-task.\n
      \n
      I care more about jamming than speed. But the mid-task swapping sounds useful because I don’t suppose you can predict when it will run out. So I guess I need to consider how much stock to put into the comment about jamming.

        I haven’t come across any significant discussion surrounding this before and I wouldn’t recommend choosing a machine on this basis.\n
        \n
        A front-loading bobbin is only an advantage for changing mid-task if you catch it before the thread runs out, otherwise you’ll be backtracking and starting again anyway once you’ve replaced it. I suppose if there is a viewing window and you can see when it is about to run out then this is an advantage, otherwise you won’t know when to stop and change it anyway until you notice that it has already run out.\n
        \n
        In terms of speed I doubt you will find any typical sewing machine “too slow” unless you plan to sew *a lot* and you want it finished quickly. For a few repairs or alterations and the occasional custom piece speed is not a priority, most of the time you will want to go slower anyway for more control/accuracy.\n
        \n
        I think you need to put less thought into what machine you get and more thought into getting *some* machine and start sewing without thinking so much about details like how the bobbin is loaded. As a beginner these things don’t matter, and by the time you are non-beginner enough for them to matter then you will know what aspects are important to you and if you want to upgrade. As it is, you can’t really jump to making “expert-level” choices because you don’t have the experience to know, for example, if speed is even a priority to you.

      I just went to a street market and lifted¹ a dozen or so machines. I bought the heaviest one figuring it has the fewest plastic parts. It’s a Singer from the late '60’s. Front-load bobbin. Found the [user manual](https://ia802906.us.archive.org/28/items/singer-237-user-manual-en_202005/Singer-237_User-Manual_EN.pdf) and [service manual](https://web.archive.org/web/20230601224202/https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/manuals/singer-class-237-service-manual.pdf) online.\n
      \n
      The one job I’m uncertain of is whether it can hem denim. The user manual says it can sew denim with a size 16 needle and canvas with a size 18 needle, but if I’m hemming denim then I think it must be able to penetrate 6 layers of denim (where the vertical seam gets folded). The manual makes no mention of layers. Motor is 85 watts.\n
      \n
      I realized well after buying that there is no “arm”. I suspect that will be quite inconvenient with hemming in my case because I was planning to do non-destructive technique: undo the original hem and without cutting fold it up as high up the leg as needed. That will be a pain when the cuff can’t wrap around the base.\n

    +title: "[answered] Front-load bobbins -- any advantages?  Or only downsides?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I watched several sewing videos in preparation to buy a machine. The consensus is that drop-in bobbins are easier for beginners than front-load. Well I’m the kind of person who wants to get to the /expert/ stage & if that means doing things the hard way, so be it. But then the question is, what are the advantages of front-loads?\n
      \n
      Youtube video id `rbhfilt68vI` titled “TESTED Best Sewing Machines for Beginners” suggests that front-load bobbins are more likely to get tangled and jammed. That sounds like an anti-feature for both beginners and experienced users. So why do front-load bobbin designs even exist?\n
      \n
      (edit)\n
      \n
      I think I got my answer. Video `F7GTjrc-m5w` says front-loading enables the machine to go faster and also enables you to switch bobbins mid-task.\n
      \n
      I care more about jamming than speed. But the mid-task swapping sounds useful because I don’t suppose you can predict when it will run out. So I guess I need to consider how much stock to put into the comment about jamming.

        I haven’t come across any significant discussion surrounding this before and I wouldn’t recommend choosing a machine on this basis.\n
        \n
        A front-loading bobbin is only an advantage for changing mid-task if you catch it before the thread runs out, otherwise you’ll be backtracking and starting again anyway once you’ve replaced it. I suppose if there is a viewing window and you can see when it is about to run out then this is an advantage, otherwise you won’t know when to stop and change it anyway until you notice that it has already run out.\n
        \n
        In terms of speed I doubt you will find any typical sewing machine “too slow” unless you plan to sew *a lot* and you want it finished quickly. For a few repairs or alterations and the occasional custom piece speed is not a priority, most of the time you will want to go slower anyway for more control/accuracy.\n
        \n
        I think you need to put less thought into what machine you get and more thought into getting *some* machine and start sewing without thinking so much about details like how the bobbin is loaded. As a beginner these things don’t matter, and by the time you are non-beginner enough for them to matter then you will know what aspects are important to you and if you want to upgrade. As it is, you can’t really jump to making “expert-level” choices because you don’t have the experience to know, for example, if speed is even a priority to you.

      I just went to a street market and lifted¹ a dozen or so machines. I bought the heaviest one figuring it has the fewest plastic parts. It’s a Singer from the late '60’s. Front-load bobbin. Found the [user manual](https://ia802906.us.archive.org/28/items/singer-237-user-manual-en_202005/Singer-237_User-Manual_EN.pdf) and [service manual](https://web.archive.org/web/20230601224202/https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/manuals/singer-class-237-service-manual.pdf) online.\n
      \n
      The one job I’m uncertain of is whether it can hem denim. The user manual says it can sew denim with a size 16 needle and canvas with a size 18 needle, but if I’m hemming denim then I think it must be able to penetrate 6 layers of denim (where the vertical seam gets folded). The manual makes no mention of layers. Motor is 85 watts.\n
      \n
      I realized well after buying that there is no “arm”. I suspect that will be quite inconvenient with hemming in my case because I was planning to do non-destructive technique: undo the original hem and without cutting fold it up as high up the leg as needed. That will be a pain when the cuff can’t wrap around the base.\n

    That machine is a pretty solid choice if it works, and a worthwhile repair project if it doesn’t (it may have seized up if not maintained recently or it may have timing or alignment issues from age).\n
    \n
    Machines like that are quite solidly built compared to modern machines, I would be surprised if it can’t get through a few layers of denim for a few stitches (I wouldn’t recommend doing 6 layers continuously, but crossing over the side seam should be OK). If you’re concerned you can always hand crank it for that part.\n
    \n
    The lack of a free arm may be somewhat limiting for hems. The “stupid” solution would be to stand the machine up on top of a crate or similar, as long as the circumference of the leg/other fabric is large enough to fit around the bottom metal “plate” of the machine. (These machines have a metal body designed to be built into a cabinet or shelf top. I’m not sure if yours includes a wooden box around the bottom or if it is just the machine itself, but if there is any wood then the machine can be removed from this leaving just the metal body of the machine itself which may provide more flexibility in this regard.)

    +title: "[answered] Front-load bobbins -- any advantages?  Or only downsides?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I watched several sewing videos in preparation to buy a machine. The consensus is that drop-in bobbins are easier for beginners than front-load. Well I’m the kind of person who wants to get to the /expert/ stage & if that means doing things the hard way, so be it. But then the question is, what are the advantages of front-loads?\n
      \n
      Youtube video id `rbhfilt68vI` titled “TESTED Best Sewing Machines for Beginners” suggests that front-load bobbins are more likely to get tangled and jammed. That sounds like an anti-feature for both beginners and experienced users. So why do front-load bobbin designs even exist?\n
      \n
      (edit)\n
      \n
      I think I got my answer. Video `F7GTjrc-m5w` says front-loading enables the machine to go faster and also enables you to switch bobbins mid-task.\n
      \n
      I care more about jamming than speed. But the mid-task swapping sounds useful because I don’t suppose you can predict when it will run out. So I guess I need to consider how much stock to put into the comment about jamming.

        I haven’t come across any significant discussion surrounding this before and I wouldn’t recommend choosing a machine on this basis.\n
        \n
        A front-loading bobbin is only an advantage for changing mid-task if you catch it before the thread runs out, otherwise you’ll be backtracking and starting again anyway once you’ve replaced it. I suppose if there is a viewing window and you can see when it is about to run out then this is an advantage, otherwise you won’t know when to stop and change it anyway until you notice that it has already run out.\n
        \n
        In terms of speed I doubt you will find any typical sewing machine “too slow” unless you plan to sew *a lot* and you want it finished quickly. For a few repairs or alterations and the occasional custom piece speed is not a priority, most of the time you will want to go slower anyway for more control/accuracy.\n
        \n
        I think you need to put less thought into what machine you get and more thought into getting *some* machine and start sewing without thinking so much about details like how the bobbin is loaded. As a beginner these things don’t matter, and by the time you are non-beginner enough for them to matter then you will know what aspects are important to you and if you want to upgrade. As it is, you can’t really jump to making “expert-level” choices because you don’t have the experience to know, for example, if speed is even a priority to you.

      I just went to a street market and lifted¹ a dozen or so machines. I bought the heaviest one figuring it has the fewest plastic parts. It’s a Singer from the late '60’s. Front-load bobbin. Found the [user manual](https://ia802906.us.archive.org/28/items/singer-237-user-manual-en_202005/Singer-237_User-Manual_EN.pdf) and [service manual](https://web.archive.org/web/20230601224202/https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/manuals/singer-class-237-service-manual.pdf) online.\n
      \n
      The one job I’m uncertain of is whether it can hem denim. The user manual says it can sew denim with a size 16 needle and canvas with a size 18 needle, but if I’m hemming denim then I think it must be able to penetrate 6 layers of denim (where the vertical seam gets folded). The manual makes no mention of layers. Motor is 85 watts.\n
      \n
      I realized well after buying that there is no “arm”. I suspect that will be quite inconvenient with hemming in my case because I was planning to do non-destructive technique: undo the original hem and without cutting fold it up as high up the leg as needed. That will be a pain when the cuff can’t wrap around the base.\n

    That machine is a pretty solid choice if it works, and a worthwhile repair project if it doesn’t (it may have seized up if not maintained recently or it may have timing or alignment issues from age).\n
    \n
    Machines like that are quite solidly built compared to modern machines, I would be surprised if it can’t get through a few layers of denim for a few stitches (I wouldn’t recommend doing 6 layers continuously, but crossing over the side seam should be OK). If you’re concerned you can always hand crank it for that part.\n
    \n
    The lack of a free arm may be somewhat limiting for hems. The “stupid” solution would be to stand the machine up on top of a crate or similar, as long as the circumference of the leg/other fabric is large enough to fit around the bottom metal “plate” of the machine. (These machines have a metal body designed to be built into a cabinet or shelf top. I’m not sure if yours includes a wooden box around the bottom or if it is just the machine itself, but if there is any wood then the machine can be removed from this leaving just the metal body of the machine itself which may provide more flexibility in this regard.)

    +title: "[answered] Front-load bobbins -- any advantages?  Or only downsides?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I watched several sewing videos in preparation to buy a machine. The consensus is that drop-in bobbins are easier for beginners than front-load. Well I’m the kind of person who wants to get to the /expert/ stage & if that means doing things the hard way, so be it. But then the question is, what are the advantages of front-loads?\n
      \n
      Youtube video id `rbhfilt68vI` titled “TESTED Best Sewing Machines for Beginners” suggests that front-load bobbins are more likely to get tangled and jammed. That sounds like an anti-feature for both beginners and experienced users. So why do front-load bobbin designs even exist?\n
      \n
      (edit)\n
      \n
      I think I got my answer. Video `F7GTjrc-m5w` says front-loading enables the machine to go faster and also enables you to switch bobbins mid-task.\n
      \n
      I care more about jamming than speed. But the mid-task swapping sounds useful because I don’t suppose you can predict when it will run out. So I guess I need to consider how much stock to put into the comment about jamming.

        I haven’t come across any significant discussion surrounding this before and I wouldn’t recommend choosing a machine on this basis.\n
        \n
        A front-loading bobbin is only an advantage for changing mid-task if you catch it before the thread runs out, otherwise you’ll be backtracking and starting again anyway once you’ve replaced it. I suppose if there is a viewing window and you can see when it is about to run out then this is an advantage, otherwise you won’t know when to stop and change it anyway until you notice that it has already run out.\n
        \n
        In terms of speed I doubt you will find any typical sewing machine “too slow” unless you plan to sew *a lot* and you want it finished quickly. For a few repairs or alterations and the occasional custom piece speed is not a priority, most of the time you will want to go slower anyway for more control/accuracy.\n
        \n
        I think you need to put less thought into what machine you get and more thought into getting *some* machine and start sewing without thinking so much about details like how the bobbin is loaded. As a beginner these things don’t matter, and by the time you are non-beginner enough for them to matter then you will know what aspects are important to you and if you want to upgrade. As it is, you can’t really jump to making “expert-level” choices because you don’t have the experience to know, for example, if speed is even a priority to you.

      I just went to a street market and lifted¹ a dozen or so machines. I bought the heaviest one figuring it has the fewest plastic parts. It’s a Singer from the late '60’s. Front-load bobbin. Found the [user manual](https://ia802906.us.archive.org/28/items/singer-237-user-manual-en_202005/Singer-237_User-Manual_EN.pdf) and [service manual](https://web.archive.org/web/20230601224202/https://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_machine_company/manuals/singer-class-237-service-manual.pdf) online.\n
      \n
      The one job I’m uncertain of is whether it can hem denim. The user manual says it can sew denim with a size 16 needle and canvas with a size 18 needle, but if I’m hemming denim then I think it must be able to penetrate 6 layers of denim (where the vertical seam gets folded). The manual makes no mention of layers. Motor is 85 watts.\n
      \n
      I realized well after buying that there is no “arm”. I suspect that will be quite inconvenient with hemming in my case because I was planning to do non-destructive technique: undo the original hem and without cutting fold it up as high up the leg as needed. That will be a pain when the cuff can’t wrap around the base.\n

    That machine is a pretty solid choice if it works, and a worthwhile repair project if it doesn’t (it may have seized up if not maintained recently or it may have timing or alignment issues from age).\n
    \n
    Machines like that are quite solidly built compared to modern machines, I would be surprised if it can’t get through a few layers of denim for a few stitches (I wouldn’t recommend doing 6 layers continuously, but crossing over the side seam should be OK). If you’re concerned you can always hand crank it for that part.\n
    \n
    The lack of a free arm may be somewhat limiting for hems. The “stupid” solution would be to stand the machine up on top of a crate or similar, as long as the circumference of the leg/other fabric is large enough to fit around the bottom metal “plate” of the machine. (These machines have a metal body designed to be built into a cabinet or shelf top. I’m not sure if yours includes a wooden box around the bottom or if it is just the machine itself, but if there is any wood then the machine can be removed from this leaving just the metal body of the machine itself which may provide more flexibility in this regard.)

    +title: "[answered] Front-load bobbins -- any advantages?  Or only downsides?"
    +url: null
    +body: """
      I watched several sewing videos in preparation to buy a machine. The consensus is that drop-in bobbins are easier for beginners than front-load. Well I’m the kind of person who wants to get to the /expert/ stage & if that means doing things the hard way, so be it. But then the question is, what are the advantages of front-loads?\n
      \n
      Youtube video id `rbhfilt68vI` titled “TESTED Best Sewing Machines for Beginners” suggests that front-load bobbins are more likely to get tangled and jammed. That sounds like an anti-feature for both beginners and experienced users. So why do front-load bobbin designs even exist?\n
      \n
      (edit)\n
      \n
      I think I got my answer. Video `F7GTjrc-m5w` says front-loading enables the machine to go faster and also enables you to switch bobbins mid-task.\n
      \n
      I care more about jamming than speed. But the mid-task swapping sounds useful because I don’t suppose you can predict when it will run out. So I guess I need to consider how much stock to put into the comment about jamming.
