that you run out of bobbin thread just inches before the quilt is DONE :?: :!: :roll:

murphy's law-

Took the words out of my mouth!

So we can gripe on this board about it!! In Vanuatu, I always refered to what here we call Murphy's law-I call it the V-factor! Only in Vanuatu, it is 10 times worse!!!

I try not to quote Murphy's Law here, since it is such a popular name here and I don't want to cause offence, so I generally refer to it as the Law of maximum cussedness.

wish bobbins were the size of spools of thread. one on top ,i inside.

Will be watching for the answer.

You and me both. So many times I have said that.

It's enough to make a person cuss !

I was lucky enough to have about 6 inches of thread left on the bobbin after my last project. I was sooooo excited! LOL

To make you get angry.

It's the gremlins trying to get us to quit quilting!! Maybe we should all make a little bitty quilt and leave it out overnight. Maybe that will appease them?

Lol....I don't know! But it kills me when this happens.Especially if I don't catch it. Of course I've been sewing long enough that I have gotten to where I check the bobbin. But every now and then I'm in a rush and don't catch it.lol Glad to know I'm not the only one this happens to.

Same thing happens to me when I hand sew...grrrr...Naomi
:oops: :oops: :oops:

Yesterday the bobbin and the top spool ran out at the same time and I only had a few inches left to finish the seam.

Builds character ......

I think it's cool when that happens.

Test our patience!!!
