I have two Schact Matchless wheels. I. Love. Them. So. Much. I was lucky enough to be able to sit and compare wheels at the well known Fiber Arts Center, in Pennsylvania, The Mannings before they retired and closed. I sat and spun on, compared and tested about 15 different wheels, and hands down, kept coming back to the Matchless. I made it happen and loved it so much I went for a second so I can teach my daughters. The is something special about how the wheel is balanced and built that just makes it so fluid and a joy to work on. Thank you for sharing your unboxing and first spins with us!

[@homesteadchile3922]

I'm so happy I found your channel! I have the Schacht Sidekick. I bought it about 8 years ago because I knew I was moving to Chile and i wanted to take my wheel on the airplane with me. I was able to have the Sidekick as a carry-on! Unfortunately I haven't used it much in the last several years but I need to dust it off and start spinning again. We just bought 3 alpacas and they are ready to be shorn. I watched your Alpaca series and it was really helpful. Thank you. I hope you have a tutorial on the Sidekick soon, I really need a refresher!

[@vane_lao]

You guys are the cutest! I love how your skills complement one another and the humor always brings me a lot of joy 😊

Best video ever. Love the bloopers. My little daughter and I laughed till we cried. 😄 The wheel looks great, too.

[@JillianEve]

So glad you had a good laugh! We did too! (clearly!) 🤪😂😂🧶💜

[@christyh8609]

I have one of these and do love it, BUT I LOVE my Flatiron even more. These are great wheels and I got extra bobbins for them, Akerworks bobbins. They simply glide on these wheels. I have been deeply enjoying your channel.

[@christyh8609]

I should add that doing long draw on the Flatiron with the orifice on the right soooooo comfortable for those of us whose right hand is their front spinning hand. That's why I got the Flatiron after the Matchless.

[@JillianEve]

I'm looking forward to trying the Flatiron, but I have to space out my new wheel acquisitions so "wheel daddy" doesn't get overwhelmed. 😂 I think the ratios on the Flatiron go even higher than the Matchless, so I see what you mean about long draw having the comfort of the orifice placement and the speed. 💜🧶😊

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

"OMG I love it so much I never want to spin on anything else" is how I felt when I finally FINALLY did the thing and started using my 1914 hand crank sewing machine last week. I have a long history of arguments with motorized sewing machines, especially my 1980s Singer which has always been an argumentative pain in the patoot despite servicing, I'm hoping my 1970s Kenmore's issues will be solved by getting it serviced, and I have't tried out the 1960s Universal I was gifted this summer because I've been hand sewing for three years now (I blame Bernadette Banner) and discovered that I don't tolerate sewing to get a product I want when I hand sew, I genuinely enjoy the hand sewing. But that hand crank... it's quiet and peaceful and goes exactly as fast as I want it to... once I get into my polarfleece winter projects I'll give the Universal a try. And I may end up with a 1990s Janome. Apparently I'm now hoarding sewing machines too, I even have a treadle machine buried in the basement that will get cleaned up and tried out once I find a place for it upstairs. My husband feels similarly to Mark about manuals and instructions. "Testosterone is never what tells you to read the manual."

[@merinogreenneedlework111]

I have a single treadle version of this wheel that I bought from a friend. I have only tried a couple other wheels as I am a new spinner. I love my wheel and may be asking questions.

[@JillianEve]

I'm happy to help answer what I can! 🧶💜😊

[@reneeschlick]

Evie I have a maple Matchless and I couldn’t resist the cherry Ladybug, love them both. If I could have only 1 wheel it would be my Matchless. At the beginning of your video I thought - ooohhh - take a deep breath when you open the box and breathe in that new wheel smell. And then you did smell the wood 🤣

[@JillianEve]

It's so good! 😂💜🧶

[@aliceDarts]

I love you two together. You are both such a joy to watch esp when I'm sick in bed. The mood went right up and I laughed today! Thank you for the review. Living in a small apartment, there is no space for a spinning wheel, so I was eyeballing one of these machines. Lots of love from Montreal! 🔥❤️🇨🇦

[@JillianEve]

I hope you feel better soon! I'm so glad to bring you a smile! 😊🧶💜

[@sandybrown1439]

Oh my gosh I'm laughing so hard now not only do I love it when you have Mark on because you 2 are so cute and so funny together but I thought you said that we were going to get to here blue birds from Market. I thought maybe he was going to do a Blue Bird impression. Then I saw that it was bloopers and I couldn't wait. I love you guys. I've learned so much and you're so pleasant to watch. Keep it up, thank you.

I got one last year when I went to sheep and wool convention ( a fiber artist’s paradise). I love it. The double treadle has a wider stance for me and my fluffy belly. The tutorial of putting it together was nice. Love your videos.

[@JillianEve]

Yes! I think maybe the wider treadles are what helps it be more comfortable for me too! That totally makes sense! 😊💜🧶

[@KnittingsAndSewings]

Congrats on your Matchless! I bought mine back (double treadle) new back in 2011 and I love it! It's my dream wheel and my favorite! I've owned and sold off several others along the way, but the Matchless is my "keeper." It's great seeing Mark in your videos again!!!

[@Bobbieliz]

I always love to have the opportunity to say how much I like my LadyBug. I learned on it (starting 1 1/2 years ago) and it is always a great spin! One big reason I finally decided on a Schacht is that the double treadle works so well for ease of use and comfort, and it LOOKS like the treadle on the matchless works the same!

[@jannaolsen3557]

Rofl. Your bloopers had me crying with laughter. Your wheel is beautiful. Excellent spinning as always. Wow you guys are awesome.

[@jacindam8721]

I love my Matchless, I also have knee and back issues, and I have found a slightly taller chair really helps with any knee and back pain. Happy spinning.

[@JillianEve]

Thank you! I agree, the taller seat helps me too. I use a music bench because the height is adjustable. 🧶😊💜

[@groovygrump]

Oh my goodness!, I just got my Matchless two days ago! This has been the wheel I have wanted for twenty years! I have spun with a drop spindle, sometimes, but have not really spun on a wheel since attending a day long class over twenty years ago where I tried several different wheels. Even with my inexperienced little hands I felt most comfortable using this wheel. I did get an e-spinner a month ago and have totally enjoyed it and have felt some success. This wheel is like a whole different learning curve for me though. Still trying to figure it out with all its bells and whistles. Your yarn that you spun with your new wheel is awesome. Hopefully I will be able to achieve something close to that soon. Loved your outtakes on this video. Can't wait to see what else you create using this wheel.

[@JillianEve]

I'll have lots more videos coming up, so I hope they will help you! Honestly, I'm still getting used to all the bells and whistles too! It's quite an adventure! 😊💜🧶

[@jayedwards647]

Schacht matchless was my first wheel 30 years ago and still my favorite. I was just curious why you went with schacht and not Ashford because of your love of the Elizabeth and Traditional? The new smell is great isn't it! Also I figured out the problem with Ravelry. I have similar problems with Facebook and video games. What really bothered me was Ravelry's attitude toward the problem. I am really not happy with that.

Ashford only does dealerships with sellers who have a physical store location. I do love my Ashfords, but I'm also so happy with Schacht. They have been incredible to work with! 💜🧶😊
