I hate when that happens....if I am listening REALLY carefully while sewing, I can hear that my bobbin is about empty...sort of a metal echo sound...but if I am listening to music, or talking while sewing, I don't hear that sound, and then I often sew with no thread.

Trudy Hughes once spoke at a guild meeting and told us she had a record of sewing the longest with no bobbin thread......45 minutes!
I swear I'd have slit my throat. :evil:

My pfaff has a low bobbin light that comes on and spoils me! Then when I switch over to a different machine, I forget to watch. Went almost 2 feet today with no bobbin thread. Just glad DH wasn't home, he would still be laughing at me!

All pins were gone and rows not sewn together. What a bummer. I had to re-pin almost the entire row and start over. I sure wish I had a red light or something to warn me of the empty bobbin. So I just stopped went to Hancock for sewing machine oil and thread. Then back home to clean machine and fill the bobbin to begin again.
Been there done that, more than once.
