Can you sew without a bobbin?

Every sewing machine requires a bobbin to sew. However, the bobbin mechanism varies by brand. The bobbin fits into the arm of the machine and is “dropped in” by removing a plate in front of the presser foot. The thread is then pulled through the bobbin mechanism to get “picked up” by the needle.
