My Pfaff has a light that blinks when the bobbin is low IF you remember to shut the bobbin door! LOL Ask me how I know that one. My other machines do not and I don't recall seeing that feature even in the high end models. I love it. Also love my thread cutter on my Janome, but it does seem to be more temperamental on beginning stitches. I wish I could find a machine with all those features. Having it start dinner and put wet clothes in the dryer for me would be nice too.
