Last night I only went thru 7 9" blocks before I figured it out. There was one time I was sewing all night long and I must have "sewn" at least 30 feet of blocks without bobbin thread. It was 3:00 am but still. I started laughing and couldn't stop!!!

If I'm going to be sewing for a long time,1st thing I do is check the bobbin,so I seldom run out.Another thing that helps is the amount of thread my Bernina bobbins hold.Out of 5-6 machines I've owned, this is the champ.DH says it's like the Energizer Bunny......:)

I remember one time reading that some gentleman used a bobbin as his spool of thread and that way both top and bottom would run out of thread at the same time. How many of you seem to go miles without thread?

My machine lets me know when the bobbin is just about empty. When it dings at me I know there is 6" or less left on the bobbin. I've seen some people purposely sew until it does run out, to save thread, but I change bobbins as soon as it dings. That is one of my favorite features on my machine.
