Since my bobbin is a top loading one I can also just take a peak after the message to see how far I can go without stopping. I love the features on my machine and this is probably right up there at the top.

My machine has a warning when it gets low on thread in the bobbin. It's pretty accurate on the bobbins wound by the machine but if I use prewound bobbins they seem to have lots more thread on them and the constant reminders that I am low on thread drives me nuts and I eventually run out in the middle of something. Murphy's law, I guess.

You are lucky! Mine usually runs out:
1. about 3 inches from the end of a long seam. OR
2. Right after I start chain piecing a bunch of small pieces.
I chain pieced about 30 "fan blades" for Dresden plate blocks not realizing I ran put of bobbin thread after the first 4! And I thought I was on a roll...

Congratulations and may you bask in the glory of using every bit of that bobbin thread. Usually, I run out of bobbin thread (I have a drop in bobbin machine too) when I have about 6 inches to sew to finish, even though I think I start out with enough bobbins filled for the project. It's nice to know that someone can literally sew to the last thread in the bobbin. Have a great day.
