Help! what do you do when your bobbin thread runs out!?!?
I have a Janome 1600p on a 10' grace quilting frame, I like to think I can short arm or whatever its called haha...I am working on a big queen size t-shirt quilt and when my bobbin thread runs out what am I supposed to do? Like backstitch (I never see the bobbin run out until I'm out of thread)? Or try tie it of and start new? Or just start new on my same stitch line and cross over the old one so it won't unravel? Please help me I'm soo worried about it... :'-( Thanks a million!

I usually pick out the last 5 or 6 stitches, tie top and bottom threads, and bury the knot. It's not much more time consuming than burying the knot when I start the stitching, and I've decided I like that better than stitching in place. However, sometimes I'm in a hurry, and the quilt isn't that "special" - so I stitch over the previous stitches and go on.
