If they can invent cars that ding when you are about out of gas, why not a machine that tells you when you are about out of bobbin thread?

how about one that stops and will automatically feed off the spool without having to rethread the machine when that bobbin runs out?

A sewing machine that uses spools of thread instead of bobbins.

My Quantum has a blinking light when the bobbin get low. I know exactly how many stitches I can take when it flashes until the end. I use Clover Wonder Clips instead of pins whenever possible. I do not like pins.

I'd like an iron that is rectangle so when you iron on stabilizer you don't have to redo because of the point. This would be helpful ironing yards of fabric too. I don't need the steam just hot.

I use the Simplicity Quick Press. It is a big rectangle pressing surface of 22" x 9"

there is a 3-d printer out now - maybe one that could deliver quilts?

A needle you can easily see when dropped. I am forever dropping my needles usually when pulling stitches through and when in carpet sometimes a magnet does not attract them.
