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

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!

I feel like I won the lottery! :lol:

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