I read that a vertical axis hook (the bobbin is horizontal), gives a more beautiful and stable seam, but for this you need to select the right threads. That is, the direction of twisting of the thread should be opposite to the direction of rotation of the hook. Some mechanics also say that these sewing machines are faster, because they have a special mechanism that prevents the thread from tangling when leaving the shuttle. Sewing machines with such a hook are significantly more expensive than models with a horizontal axis hook, so I wondered if it was worth spending more.
