Ah yes, the dreaded air sewing.

I have never understood why every sewing machine - especially the pricier ones (I have a Bernina 635) - don't offer this as a standard feature! Are they really that clueless?

Wish I had a dime for every time this happened to me. It's the main reason I bought the Janome I have...clear throat plate, clear bobbins, so I can see how much thread I have.

I feel your pain!!!

I did that today to but I caught it after two pieces had no thread

I'm constantly doing that. My brother even has a see-thru bobbin plate and I still do it!!! Now that's sad!!! I just get up and away from the machine for a while.

No, they aren't -- this feature is on my machine -- I have the new 830. Someone offered the suggestion (in another post) to use two bobbins -- one in the bobbin case and one on top. They would both use the same amount of thread so you would know when the bobbin is running out. That was a really clever idea!

It does make your heart sink!!! It has happened to me more than once!

You poor thing! Haven't done this (my Bernina 820 stops if no bobbin thread) but I've done plenty of other stuff. Like chaining 4-patches only to find out I'm sewing and sewing them together wrong. And ripping out and doing it again. Or cutting many many pieces that are the wrong size...stupid ruler!

I do this so often--deep breath and start again.
