yes. bobbin thread tension adjustment is a 10 second operation with a front loader and a cumbersome inefficient pain in the dick with a drop-in.
>front loading is more old-school,
accurate statement, but just barely. putting it in perspective drop-in is more old school than motor powered. singer's 66 came out early 1900s iirc. reason the woman feels that way might have more to do with the manufacturing tendency to produce 90% of drop-ins with rotary hooks and 90% of front loaders with oscillating hooks. you can get away with shit on an oscillating machine that would knock the timing out on a rotary. drop-in isn't bad by any means (nor is rotary), it just has exactly zero advantages over front load. the one benefit it does offer stopped being a worthwhile trade-off as soon as the machines stopped being hulking great hunks of metal.
>old berninas thisclose to perfect
>new ones can into foot pressure adjusty :D
>they have also changed to drop-in D:
dammit bernigro every fuggen time. plastic, drop-in, and whatever ai pajeetery produced picrelated aside, that model you're looking at is 10/10. impressive machine hunting skills.
