In the meantime, I'm on my Babylock. That one starts beeping that you're running out of bobbin thread when it's at the half way mark. UGH[/QUOTE]
I discovered, quite by accident, that if I leave the door to the bobbin area open, my Babylock Serenade will let me finish off the bobbin thread after the low bobbin alert goes off. Try it---this may work for you.
