Happy discovery...an easy override for the low bobbin sensor!

I'm just the opposite of all of you - first, I never knew there was such a thing as a sensor and always thought there should be, and second, how I wish my machine had one. I can't tell you how many times I have been happily sewing along, only to realize my bobbin thread had run out ages ago!

I have a Viking Sapphire and if I just continue to sew when the alert occurs I'm ok. If I press the "ok" button, then it only goes a few stitches. Consequently, I ignore it if I'm trying to complete something.

I have the Pfaff Quilt Expression and when the message shows up on the screen, I just ignore it and keep on sewing until the bobbin runs out, and since it has the drop in bobbin, you can see when that is going to happen.

I have adjusted the sensor so that my bobbins are almost empty when the alert comes on. It's an easy fix with screwdriver. My machines are Brother ULT's and Babylock Ellageo embroidery machines. I used to be changing while the bobbin was still half full.
