That is one thing I like about my machine it will not sew if the bobbin it low it also will not sew if the thread comes out of the needle.

Glad to know I am not the only one that does it. |
Mine has a warning sound - then won't work if I run out.

ah so some machines do warn that the thread is low in the bobbin. handy...
speaking of sewing... time to try to finish up the first pairings of these strips! be back later |
Ever notice you run out of bobbin thread with only a couple of inches left to sew? Makes me crazy.
|
Many of the newer (and some older) models have a low-bobbin light or beep. I do notice that when the bobbin thread runs out the machine makes a different sound. By the way, I have machines that flash or beep, but I still run out, because I am not going to waste the yard or so that is still on the bobbin. haha

I have done that several times, although never quite as far you have, but it's very aggravating. You are not alone.

AND... why is it that the seams seem to be so much straighter when I run out of bobbin thread... Yep been there and done that ... I like to preload a few bobbins that way I can just empty, drop in and zoom right along. Getting up often is never a problem with me. |

I was speeding right along, doing the strips for the scrappy fence, and getting pretty comfortable with the 1/4" seams.... when I noticed that... the top thread seemed to be coming loose from the fabric.... So stopped sewing, pulled out the strip and lo and behold, the bobbin was empty... ok... not so bad you say.. at least I noticed it... Well, that was after sewing 4 sets of strips without a bobbin thread (8.5" strips... 4 of them... chain piecing, so not having to lift the presser foot, or cut threads... but you would think I would have noticed! LOL) AND... why is it that the seams seem to be so much straighter when I run out of bobbin thread... I like stopping to fill a bobbin, gives me a chance to stretch out my back... need a better chair. Just thought I would share my... oh my gosh... moment we need an alarm for when the bobbin is getting close to empty hehe |
Both my Brother machines tell me when I am running out of bobbin thread.
