The other Pfaff indicates a low bobbin state on the display AND it comes to a screeching halt. Now I am a reasonably intelligent sewer and I understand what "low bobbin" means. WHY would the machine hobble me and make my progress stop?????
So, careful what you wish for....

Mine does. (Janome 11000). But it makes me nuts because there is at least enough thread left on the bobbin when "dings" to sew all four borders on a table runner. I did it last night. And once it dings one time, every time I stop sewing I have to push a "cancel the ding" button in order to go on sewing.

;) Isn't it funny that some of those who have it really don't want it, and some of those who don't think it's a good idea. Sounds like the grass is greener on the other side. I guess my machine is too cheap it just sews when I do. I have hated the times when I am going along and then realise that what I have done only has a top thread. Would like the light.

My Brother stops sewing and tells me the bobbin thread is running low. It won't allow me to use a sliver (actually quite a lot) that is left on the bobbin. So I just put that aside to use for hand sewing things.
