My Janome beeps when the bobbin gets half empty, and then it beeps until it runs out. I find it a bit annoying. I would like for it to remind me, but it beeps too soon. I think there may be a way to reset it, but I haven'tfound that out yet. I always look when I'm embroidering so that I have enough to finish the design as it's bad when I run out and have to reset the pattern to where I was when it ran out.
