Happy discovery...an easy override for the low bobbin sensor!
Ok, for the first time, the low bobbin alert came onto the screen on my new machine. I was hoping it would allow me to continue to stitch out the remaining bobbin thread, but no---the machine kept stopping with every little bit of stitching, requiring a wait until the alert disappeared each time. I remembered someone on here who had a different machine from mine saying she'd put a bit of tape over the sensor when she wanted to finish off the bobbin thread, so I opened the door and took a peek in to see if anything was obviously the sensor. Well, I didn't see anything, so I continued sewing, and low and behold! I forgot to close the bobbin access door, and the open door overrides the low bobbin alert! Yay! I got to finish off the bobbin thread, and it turns out there was still a good bit on there---I did several more seams in my block.
Sooo....If your machine has a low bobbin alert which prevents you from continuing to sew, try leaving the bobbin access door open to finish out that thread.
Oh, btw, my machine is a Babylock Serenade.
