I can see my bobbin, and it's like a game to see how close to the end I can sew. A perfect win is when the end of the bobbin thread comes up when I pull the fabric away at the end of the seam. :)

Thanks to all who responded.... will just have to put up with it until I buy my next machine... It was interesting to hear how many of you have alerts on your machines.. and fun to hear others going through the same thing as me... I am going to go quilt now... I will start with a full bobbin... :) Warm hugs.. Janet
