I never use profanity except in the sewing room!!!

I've sewn for miles before realizing I had no bobbin thread!

I have a drop in bobbin on my Babylock. Kept having problems with the stitching. Auto tension! I kept yelling at it that it had auto tension! I finally decided to rethread the whole machine and decided to do a through cleaning in the bobbin area. Took the bobbin case completely out and discover a wad of fuzz under the bobbin case. Problem solved. So now I not only do a compete rethreading, I also do a cleaning.

Oh, a fantastic tip on Fons and Porter the other day. Pipe cleaners to clean the bobbin area and under the feed dogs. DH found a large package for me the other day at Joann's for 99 cents. That should last me a while!.

I've had birds' nests on the bottom of embroidery - redid the bobbin quite a few times before I realized the thread was out of the takeup lever. You can't see the whole thread path on the machine. I've had machines do that before, and finally put a piece of tape over the opening in the takeup lever. That meant you had an "eye" there, not as convenient to thread, but the thread stayed put.

You are not alone!!

Ahhh Grasshopper: you have truly become part of the club now .. LOL

We have all done that at one time or another; sigh .. we all feel so darned silly; but then we re-thread and get over it. Tell our friends and they laugh with us !! LOL

I don't recall doing that, BUT, I have done....more times than I want to admit to......sewed about a mile down the road before I noticed that the bobbin had run out. You'd think I could learn a lesson sometime.:(

If there's a way to make a mistake, I've found a way to do it!

OK.... You arent the only one... hee hee ;)

You're definitely not alone, and to take it one step further, I've been sewing right along before discovering that I ran out of bobbin thread several feet ago. Yup, been there, done that and more than a time or two.
