So, what’s the same and what is different? And most importantly: how does that affect sewing? Let’s review! The rotary hookīoth machines have the same type of rotary hook and have the same movement – that’s the heart of the matter! However, they have different bobbin cases and use differently sized bobbins. My Jones Spool dates approximately to 1899 and is based on an earlier D9 variant, plus Jones really had a go at modifying it! It is significantly different from the original. My Singer 9W1 dates approximately to 1906, it is a very early Singer variant which is nearly identical to the latest version of the original D9. I haven’t got a D9 but I do have a Singer 9W1 and a Jones Spool. In 1905 Singer took over Wheeler & Wilson and in turn produced some D9-based machines known as Singer 9W (clever name, that 😉). Wheeler & Wilson themselves produced many versions of this machine and kept improving various aspects of it as time went on. Wheeler & Wilson’ D9 was a very successful rotary machine – and was reproduced and modified by many manufacturers.
