If there was a way to put a laser in the works ,
so that it saw the shiny (non thread) surface of the bobbin stem, when it appeared, and beeped.
...that would solve the problem

My brother quattro warns me when the bobbin is low....sometimes. I've noticed that on rare occassion I do not get a warning. Not sure why. It also automatically threads the needle and cuts the thread when I'm finished sewing so I'll forgive its occassional forgetfulness. Its an awesome machine.
