My machine must be a slow learner 'cause it never says anything like that and it's over 45 years old. I, on the other hand, do say things when bobbin runs out midseam. No, it's not "Oh, you naughty bobbin." I often check bobbin thread and guess whether I have enough to finish (not always correctly, tho).
When I refill it, I only wind as much on bobbin as I think I'll need, especially when it's not a color I use often. The thread I remove gets wound around a small folded piece of cardboard or paper and saved for hand sewing. Can't waste good thread!
now,
PuffinGin, that's a tip, I love! :P
...and I too, only load SOME, if I don't use it often :D or I try to divide what's on the spool in half with bobbin :lol:
Cabbagepatchkid, I LOVE your avatar!!! How cute is that? awww!
