The 15 has a vertical oscillating bobbin -- so does the Featherweight!!!


What does a vertical oscillating bobbin mean?



The bobbin sits vertically, that is, on its side. In the 66/99 machines, it's horizontal, like you would put down a plate. Oscillating means that the bobbin does not spin in a circle, like in a rotary machine, but spins one way, then the other, then back again, without ever making a complete circle.
