WOW, great point, why can't the bobbin just rewind itself when it starts to run out???

I spend way too much time hunting for the "right" bobbin. At my age, I often forget which bobbin go to which machine.

I agree about bobbins. I would have to buy more thread, so I would have a cone in each position, but it would be well worth it.
My guild buys LA thread in pairs of cones so that additional bobbins can be wound (on a winder) without unthreading the machine. Almost all of the thread I use comes in cones, which makes it easy to compute the thread milage in a given quilt, or my milage over a year's time. Add up the cones x cone size /5280 feet per mile. Aren't calculators great? One queen sized commissioned quilt used 3.5 miles of thread. |
Wouldn't it be great if there were a need for a calorie counter on our machines?

how about one that would prevent you from sewing wrong sides together. I did that last year during a mystery class. Bad machine, bad machine. lol.
|
Bigger bobbins would help, but I would really rather be able to put a cone in there.
|
The bobbin on a Bernina 830 holds twice as much as the small machines I love it . Then again I just love this machine.
|
lol oh ya
|
My Bernina has one and the service guy told me he could tell I had sewn quite bit. I think it tells you the number of stitches.
