LOL don't you just love it when you run out of thread, and don't discover it until waaaaaaaaaaay down the seam?

Actually, I run out of bobbin thread quite often. I never pay much attention to how much is left as I can't see how much there is. I notice when I see no stitches. As for the top thread, I use the serger cones not spools, so they last for months. They cost about the same as a spool and you get sooooo much more thread!

Don't think I have ever run out of top thread - bobbin thread loads of times. Bet you really didn't mind going to the fabric store!!

I regularly run out of both bobbin and top thread...

I stocked up on thread last year when someone had a sale so I'm good to go for all colors, so I don't need to go out to the store, I just shop in my thread baskets!

I don't ever remembering that actually happening before!! Of course, didn't have anymore of that color, off to JoAnn's to get another spool. Gave up for the night and will restart today!!!

hmmm That kinda sounded like just an excuse to go to the fabric store. :thumbup: :lol: :lol:

Darn!!! You caught on!! Actually, it was either cook dinner or go get thread. Let's seeeeee! Went to JoAnn's, picked up MacDonalds', didn't have to cook! :lol: :lol:
