It does seem like "serendipity" when the bobbin thread runs out at the end of your row of stitching! A happy moment for sure!

The quilting angel was on duty at your house

LOL, I am glad for you. Don't you wish they would talk and say "bobbin is running out in 5 inches.

I live when my seams easily match up without really having to try then I don't have to figure out how to make it look good!

Believe me when I say that this happens often.

:lol: I did that when I was chain piecing log cabin sections, only the first one was sewn.

That's never happened to me before, and I won't count on it happening again.


I feel like I won the lottery! :lol:

Yeah, much better than running out in the middle of the seam that's for sure.

I'm glad you lucked out :) Whew! I sewed a border on once and didn't realize the bobbin ran out about 1/2 way through.
