I sew mostly with a treadle machine...so there are no warning beeps. :shock:
The bobbin seems to rattle a bit when its getting low. My Sapphire 875 is the only computerized machine I have has a low bobbin warning, but it doesn't always work right. If the bobbin hasn't wound evenly, it will tell me that the bobbin is low, even if I have quite a bit of thread left. I hate that! Sharon W. |
One of my machines will stop and beep when the bobbin gets low. What's annoying about this is I usually have 2 or 3 inches left to sew, and I know there is 9 or 10 inches of thread left on the bobbin. So I hit the "Ok" button, hit the gas, get maybe 2 stitches along, then it stops and beeps again, and won't start unless I either hit "Ok" or replace the bobbin. It gets infuriating.

Mine is supposed to tell me, but isn't at the moment, so to the shop it will go. Yesterday, I did a whole row of chain sewed squares - at least 20 of them, before I realized I had an empty bobbin. I hate when that happens!

I don't know what kind of machine you have, but mine is a Babylock Serenade, and I can open the bobbin access door after the low bobbin indicator goes off, and that will allow me to finish off the bobbin. Try that.

How do you know when your bobbin is going to run out of thread before you sew 'a mile' without any?
My sewing machine does not even whisper a warning to me! I know there are new sewing machines that do, but I love the one I have. |
