My one Pfaff has a small led that lights when the bobbin goes low. No problem - just keep sewing til I run out.

The other Pfaff indicates a low bobbin state on the display AND it comes to a screeching halt. Now I am a reasonably intelligent sewer and I understand what "low bobbin" means. WHY would the machine hobble me and make my progress stop?????

So, careful what you wish for....
