Well, you posted at 1:27 a.m. I'd say it was way past time to stop!

I fill 20 at a time. Once I'm set up I like to get a bobbin holder full. It's so nice when you are in the swing of sewing and you get to!!!

Me too! On Sunday night! LOL

I quit when I run out of wine! LOL....jk. I quit when I feel tired or when I start making stupid mistakes or when my eyes aren't focusing any more.

LOL!! Isn't it very reassuring to know that our fellow quilters also make mistakes and not only once? I'm so glad we can laugh at ourselves!!

I have done this so many times it's not funny. I bit the bullet and ordered 100 extra bobbins. Now each time cut out a new quilt top I prewind a dozen bobbins before I sew my first piece. It doesn't keep me from sewing a few pieces with no bobbin, but at least i'm ready with a filled one.

I bought one of the BIG spools of brown 100% cotton Coats & Clark thread. It's been breaking every couple minutes. After a half dozen re-threads, I decided it was the thread that had the problem, not me, and not my machine.

Springing for a bunch of new bobbins was probably the best money I've spent lately.

I don't use my machine much at that time of night, but I do cut stuff, pin stuff, hand sew..................when my bones start complaining, I hit the recliner or chair and work on sewing-------------if I can't go back to sleep.

I need to be there now----------with a bit of hand work on a couple Christmas gifts.

Many times I will say I am going to quilt until a certain time or maybe for two hours, but quit immediately if it begins to feel like I am 'working'. Sometimes I am having such a good time I can quilt for a looonnngggg time and need to stop to eat or sleep.

I bought a box of bobbins too. only 12, but it's a start!
