No Thread??
 

I know that most of you have been sewing and suddenly realized that you ran out of bobbin thread or your top thread broke. I went through one quarter of a throw (60 x 72) and was at a corner of a binding when I saw the loose fabric.:D

my question is how much longer did you think you were sewing before you found out there was no thread. :eek:

I think the most I have gone was about 8 or 9 inches. The least was.....are you ready? I caught it right at the second it ran out.

I think it was about 12 to 15 inches for me when I was doing some chain piecing. :thumbdown: My old Singer machine has a little light that comes on when the bobbin is getting close to running out. I LOVE that feature! Wish all machines had it.

A few times I have gone maybe 2 feet. If I think I might be running low on bobbin thread, I take it out and look before starting a row of FMQ. I try to remember to look to see if I have stitches every so often.

I have a low-bobbin indicator but it sometimes doesn't work. In those cases, I might go about half a mile. lol

me, too. sigh.

most time it isn't far. I seem to notice the change in sound when the thread runs out.

I'm right up there with the others - about 1/2 mile!

me too. My machine "plays a new song" says my 6 year old grand daughter.

My machine stops and beeps to warn me that my bobbin is getting low. I can usually continue for another 5 inches of so. Unfortunately I usually seem to have 6 inches to sew at this point!
