My Bernina 1530 has no warning bell but if I listen carefully, my Bernina makes a slightly different noise. I learned that from my dealer.
I can hear it nearly every time within half an inch if stitching. |

dust out the bobbin case might help
I now know to brush out my bobbin case area with every bobbin change so that it doesn't build up so badly. |
Take it in - I had the same problem one time and I am so used to that signal that I just can't sew without it. I have a preventive maintenance policy so I take my machine in quarterly just for them to give it a really good cleaning but I can take it in whenever I have any problem, no matter how minor.

Use a bobbin for the top thread, so they will run out together and you will notice it! (A hint from my quilt guild)
|
It also won't work if the bobbin case door is open. Ask me how I know.
|
I find a can of pressured air really works well to clean out all those un-reachable areas. Get it at the office supply store.
|
When I use a very fine thread, my bobbin low warning seems not to work. Try a bobbin with different thread.
|
Since I only sew on a vintage machine, there is no warning and I don't really need one. I always notice immediately when the bobbin thread has run out.
Also, I read that using pressurized air and even blowing is not recommended as you can blow loose lint further into you machine causing more problems. |
I have a Babylock and if I wind the bobbins myself the bobbin warning works pretty good, however I use a lot of prewound bobbins and they apparently have a lot more thread on them so it warns, and warns, and warns for the last fourth of the bobbin. It is not all it's cracked up to be!
