I am laughing and crying at the same time! I've done all these things many, many times! But sewing something wrong, ripping it out and sewing it wrong again! I can't count the number of times I've done that! Try making 8 cheerleading uniforms with 18 tricolor pleats!
What a job that was. In fact, I spent all the money I made on my first Pfaff, a 1471!

My Viking has a low bobbin alarm, it stops and won't let me sew any more until I change it.
This always happens to me. I wish they would put an alarm in the machine to let you know.

I have discovered the best way to take care of bird's nest's is a pair of barber shears. They nicely clip the threads without tearing a whole in the cloth.
By the way, I've done all of the above. Love this thread...
