does this have a top drop in bobbin

No. The bobbin is first placed into a holder, then inserted vertically into the machine under the needle.

Yes, this machine does have a free arm. The base pulls off on the end by the needle and the removable part is also a container for extra bobbins.

Yes it does have a reverse switch, but it is flimsy and mine lost the switch cover the first time I used it. I'm gonna be straight with you..you're better off spending a little more on a good machine. If you plan on doing some serious sewing I wouldn't waste your money.

The handibobs do not go in the machine. They just sit on the top of the spool of thread and hold the bobbin until you want to use it. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure how the bobbin would impact this working. The shank type is important, but I don't think the bobbin type is going to impact how it functions. I have used this foot on two separate machines, one with a front and one with a drop-in bobbin.

I do not know, but I DO know this....not all the bobbins would work in my Babylock Quest...I have tossed about a third of them, I think.

I don't think where you load the bobbin matters. You do have to remove the part that holds the presser foot on - the walking foot screws onto the shaft. Not a problem. I have used mine several times and a really pleased. Hope this helps.

It does not. However, I've not found that to be an issue. The tool drives various length pins consistently. With my old tool, I adjusted air pressure as necessary.

Yes. I got one from lowes in the hardware section. Ask for help in finding it as it will probably take an eternity to find on your own. It has a regular threaded end and the top is flat so you can tighten and loosen it with your fingers.

No. The rolled hem foot helps you manipulate the fabric into place to achieve a rolled hem, it has nothing to do with the bobbin. Is there a difference in the zipper foot for a horizontal bobbin vs. a vertical bobbin?

I've never had a problem with the bobbin area. I've been using the machine a great deal in the past 6 months having made 3 full quilts and working on a 4th-and all the piecework and machine quilting that goes with that-so mine is getting a lot of usage. I had one issue with thread but I was using really cheap thread-when I changed it out to the better thread my problem went away (this was on the top end of the machine not the bobbin area). So I would suggest changing the thread, to see if the problem stops.

I don't know, but don't think it does. I bought it for my grandkids. Do not buy this machine!! Its awful - hard to thread, doesn't feed right, loose stitches, etc. I have serious buyers' remorse over it. A short time later, I bought a Janome basic machine for my mom. For about $80 it sews beautifully! I am planning to buy another one for my girls next time they visit. Hope this helps!

Not really. The bobbin winder is on top by the thread holder. It is easy to thread and easy to use. Then you must put it in the bobbin holder beneath the needle.

Yes. If you scroll down a bit on the page for the bobbins, there is a list of the machines it fits and your model is listed.

No, it does not. The lid that you see in the picture with the spinner is the only one.

No it goes in from the left side It can be a little bit of a challenge However so far the machine is wonderful. The big thing is to oil the bobbin as in the instructions .......

There's a wheel up by the bobbin winder. Try turning that, you may have turned it last time you wound a bobbin.
