I've got another one for you -- I was doing the quilting on one of the quilts I'm making for Jan's soldiers and the backing was navy blue. Because there was quite a bit of red on the top, I decided to have blue in the bobbin and red in the needle. Wellllll, when it came time to put in a new bobbin, guess what I did? That's right, I put in RED and proceeded to stitch away. Didn't realize my mistake until THAT bobbin was empty!!! Now I'm ripping out the blue because I decided the red looked better!!!

This has been a hilarious "thread". Thanks for the belly laughs.

No that feeling and I have to be double quick or my little minx of a dog runs for it, she usually find it for me but I have to be quick to get it out of her mouth before she has a darned good chew.

ouch! so many of those have happened to me too! and yet we still pick it back up and start sewing again! lol

Now that is a b%@&*h

I have a machine that beeps when the is very low.

I hate it when I some how get a knot in the thread...just don't know how that happens....sneaky little quilting elves!

A neat trick I learned years ago. As you start to wind, after several turns, color about 12 " of the bobbin thread.

Glad to know I am not the only one who slips into an automatic frame of mind at times which a creates a problem just at the time I really should have been on break.
