Yep been there!!! Really hate it when you think you have power sewed and pick up your long chain only to have the bottom pieces fall off!!!!

You mean pushing the pedal to the metal doesn't make the thread last longer :roll: Always seems to work for me :lol: LOL

OMG you been looking in my window, haven't you? Don't mind the tossed scraps, the lengths tossed aside, the threads all over the floor, I've been in charity stocking mode. I too, stretched that bobbin thread to the end of the seam yesterday, but was so frustrated because when I rewound the bobbin I forgot to go back to straight stitch from the zigzag I'd been using when thread ran out.... :oops: :oops:

LMBO....Me thinks someone's nose is growing.... :roll: :wink: :mrgreen:

In a way I do the opposite, once I finish a seam and I am not sure if I have enough thread to make it to another end I take the remaining thread off the bobbin and rewind it fresh. I know, I know I waste thread but I guess it is just a small part of my OCD. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :oops: :oops:

You don't know how many times I wished I had done just that!!! :roll: :lol: :lol:

My husband said "I know Nina's a great machine, but she isn't voice activated!"

Luckily, I soon went to a class, where I learned the right way...ah....push the stop button. Imagine that! :lol:

uh, well, I just realized that some may not want to know what I used to yell stop about...it wasn't my sewing machine! :shock: - :oops: - :mrgreen:
