Barbara my Pffaf machine has a light that come on when my bobbin starts to get low. My Brother also tells me to check my thread.

Seriously -- why can't someone out there invent this?? At least, make a machine that can use a full spool of thread; not truly neverending, but certainly better than a tiny bobbin!
I was told by a LQS owner, that Singer used to make one with a spool sized bobbin, but it never worked properly and was taken of the market. Pitty, I'm sure they could have gotten it right if only they had persisted.

That is a cool thing. I hadnt a clue...now that they "got" smart and invented that...when are they going to "invent" the never ending bobbin? They can put man on the moon, invent these huge machines that make stuff in factories, but yet they can't make a bobbin that never runs out of thread!!!

They do. My old Viking 1+ makes a beep sound. Very helpful.

I have often wondered why no one has invented a way to use a full spool of thread in the bobbin area as well as on the top of the machine.

Barbara,

My "Ella Ellageo" has a "frowny face" on the screen and lets me know, on no uncertain terms, that the bobbin is low. If I try and close that screen, it keeps prompting me until I take care of the bobbin. Gets rather annoying at times, but better than running out of bobbin in the middle of something.

My sewing machine flashes a red light when it is down to about 2 metres of thread - depending on the thickness of the thread that I am using. It then stops automatically and tells me I a,m low on bobbin thread. If I want to override the command and keep on sewing, I just leave the door to the bobbin case open.

My Brother let's me know when my bobbin is getting low.
