All pins were gone and rows not sewn together. What a bummer. I had to re-pin almost the entire row and start over. I sure wish I had a red light or something to warn me of the empty bobbin. So I just stopped went to Hancock for sewing machine oil and thread. Then back home to clean machine and fill the bobbin to begin again.
My machine beeps and stops and tells me the bobbin is empty. That's what's nice about a computerized machine. There is about a foot of thread left when it does this.
