My new machine (Pfaff 2056) has a "low bobbin" message on the display window and I think it also beeps. I only know that the sewing motion comes to a screeching halt. First I have to suffer through 3 stop/start stitches (because I am apparently NOT smart enough to figure out what "low bobbin" means). By this time, I am already frustrated and hit that gas pedal pretty hard - only to have the machine take off like a bat out of hell.....for about 6 inches, when the sewing motion comes to a screeching halt.....

Oh how I hate when that happens! I'm getting better at hearing a change in the sound of my machine.. like tuning into your baby's cry.... so, lately, I've only gone a couple inches before I notice I'm out of thread. I guess I don't get out much, cuz' I didn't know machines came with an indicator... That's fantastic!

My machine has that indicator and I've turned it off. I hate it! It beeps when I'm about 1/4 from the end of the bobbin..it also beeps when it thinks there is a microscopic piece of thread..or lint...or dust mite..or some other fri^*@ thing that I can't find...so I cured it.....its turned off.. :roll:
