I'm with you on the tangle of threads on the back. I heard it referred to somewhere as "bobbin barf" which seems applicable.

My other pet peeve, because it's something I do myself, is deciding to change sitches from straight to zig-zag or something like that, and end up breaking the needle and upsetting my poor machine. I've done it twice already. accckkk!

The bird's nest of thread on the back bothers me too! I've threaded it so carefully and it's so pretty, and then it goes kerpluey!!!! :evil:

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one with pet peeves!

I have more than one lol.....of course seams not metting up correctly and running out of bobbin and not even noticing for 20 min or more. When sewing is going smoothly and its dinner time or someone comes :D :D :D

"Thread throw up"/bobbin barf/thread nest/#%#*%(&*^)*&

That has to be number one but I am really irritated when:
I break needles
the blocks don't line up perfectly
I'm just shy of the amount of material I need for a project
I have to bump one project for another priority one and have a hard time getting back to the first one
and when I have to do real laundry before fun fabric laundry.

geez i could be here awhile lol i'll be nice and stick to a few
running out of bobbin thread
your real into sewing and the dogs bugging you to let them out to potty
you have THEE perfect block/quilt stuck in your head, but no matter how hard you try, it don't come close :twisted:

ok i'm done ................. for now :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mine is when the thread keep breaking and you don't knwo why and when your bobbin thread runs out

Mine peeeeve is I just get started on a project and DH whines he's hungry. Plus the bobbin running out.. eeerg

I' m with Jerrie- my peeves exactly!

When I sew a block backwards :oops: and have to rip out and start over!

Sounds like central Florida. I dislike tangled masses that happen underneath. I have not had any with this machine, but I am still on my honeymoon with it.
