WOW, I be more smarterer ... WHOO Hoooo ....
I'm researching FW parts for another forum member who's machine is on the fritz. So to get a better idea of what I'm looking at I got out our FW. As I was turning the hand wheel and watching the bobbin hook I realized that FW's are rotaries. Yepper they got rotary hook bobbin drives.
Whoo Hooo, I learned sompin new today.
Now where's my analgesic, new knowledge makes my head hurt .....

I must admit to being Not So Smarterer... Joe, can you explain to me what actually is a "rotary" machine, as opposed to... I guess a regular bobbin machine? For example, this makes me think of White Rotary; how are they different from other machines? Does it have to do with the bobbin being vertical? Or some way that the mechanism works?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if it a dumberer question... *wink*

He was probably surprised it wasn't an oscillating hook. A rotary hook only goes the one direction, the oscillating type reverse every 180 degrees. The latter are far more common. Is this what you meant Joe?
