Switching threads is quick and simple. I am able to use all the different spool types I have.

The automatic tensioning is effective, precise, and using it has already become automatic. It prevents having to re-spool thread onto smaller spools for the Nor Vise system and prevents having to spend time rewinding the thread after using a bobbin rest for rotary tying.

Rotary tying is where it shines.

I imagine that my appreciation of its capabilities will increase with time and practice. But already I find it to be a light, well made, well-designed tool. Further, Mr. Ekitch the designer and source of the tool is an interesting person to deal with. In the purchase process I was pleased to have a source for facets of history that I did not understand well. I'm still merely a student but I appreciated being able to learn of recent history from someone who has an understanding of both the historical and modern realities.

I like tools that work well out of the box and I like people who can widen my understanding of the world.
