I have a Pfaff 1475 that has tiny red blinking light just above the needle that flashes when the bobbin is low. When it starts flashing I know I have about another yard to go before I'm out.

my embroidery machine will send message when I'm low on
bobbin thread, but not my regular sewing machine. Betty Lee

There are some machines that let you know your bobbin is low but I think they are mostly the high end sewing and embroidery machines

I will have to look at one of these machines the next time around. I am forever merrily sewing along after I have run out of bobbin thread. Grrrr!

Mine has a little light that comes on when bobbin thread is low!

My Brother does let me know when bobbin is low, but I've found there's a LOT of sewing left when it does that. So, I just go ahead and use it all up!!

I have an Innovis. It tells me when the bobbin is low, the top thread breaks, it threads the needle itself, and it cuts the thread when I want to stop the seam. Love my machine.
