I get really irritated when this happens because I'm not paying attention. When I'm chain piecing I can go quite a ways.

The most I have gone is half way down the binding on a baby quilt. That last half and i would have been finished.

The worst was when I sewed two rows of 12 blocks together with an empty bobbin. The irony was that the bobbin had run out just after I had finished sewing the last two rows together.

I would love that feature on my machine.

I hate to admit that my non stitches went several feet before I noticed and I have done that multiple times. duh!!

I've done this more than once. It's that darn binding you want to get on and so you rush to finish it. You think only a bit more and i'm done, then you see how wrong you were. That binding is flapping away in the wind, and the tiny needle holes are staring you straight in the face and laugh at you. Then if you're like me, you don't have another bobbin, so you have to pull the thread out and wind a bobbin. by this time, you're sick of it and go back later to finish it. You think by now, i've learned my lesson.

I usually hear a change in the sound of the machine...but oh, when I miss it? Its the saddest thing!
