I had no idea a setup like this for a sewing machine even existed! That machine looks very well built.

Thanks for posting this explanatory video. I learned a lot seeing this.

What a wonderful machine!

This is interesting. I’m always fascinated by the many different, but equally beautiful ways used by different machines for same or similar problems. There is always room for innovation. Always ample room.

Simply thinking about the idea without finishing the video, this is beautiful, in a sense that it’s simple, elegant, less vibration, more encapsulated, etc. Not just that, the amount of take up can be easily adjusted after leaving the factory, if needed. Obviously to me, that’s another new dimension of possibilities.

Well, what a wonderful video and mechanism! Beautifully filmed too - I learned all sorts of things. Thank you!! :-)

You might be interested to know that Juki also made domestic machines with this set up. At one point they were even marketed under the White brand.

I have 2 or 3 examples of the domestic version of this that was available in the USA, the Juki "Rotalix". Interesting machine, and it certainly saves on the parts count. But what I couldn't understand is why it's an oscillating hook and not a rotary! A rotary would have been SO much faster and smoother!

I need advice. I have a Singer 700G machine, it had been tossed out curbside, on trash night, when I rescued it. It is missing the throat plate cover and Needle Bar door. I have no luck finding these parts. I believe the "G" on the front of the machine, stands for GERMANY.
