I sat down and wondered where all this thread was coming from. After a little while I realized it was coming from the bobbin in the sewing room, about 20 or more feet away. About that time my husband got up to go to the kitchen. STOP! STOP! I clipped the thread, went and got the bobbin, and wound all that thread back unto the bobbin. Took a while.
Ha! Ha! I've done that before too. It's kinda embarrassing when you finally figure it out. I think I even walked clear out the kitchen door before I realized what was going on.
