I have a Babylock and it beeps and won't let me continue to sew unless I hit the "close" tab on the screen...usually has about a foot of thread left. Sometimes I can end, sometimes I can't! Love it when I can tho!

My Babylock dings when the bobbin reaches the half-empty mark and it keeps dinging much to the frustration of my friends who get tired of hearing it. So I purchased a smaller machine to take to class or friends that doesn't ding and I keep my Babylock with the dining in my sewing room.

Mine only makes a funny noise about 20" AFTER the bobbin thread is gone. lol. But that's OK with me because I must believe that to waste bobbin thread is a sin. I use it until it's completely gone, on purpose and everytime. I would hate the beep.

I bought a Singer 9323 back in the early 90's (bell-less and whistle-less), and have sewn on it so much that I can tell by the sound and feel when the bobbin is running low. Weird, huh?
A dinger would probably drive me crazy. I hate being "told" to do something! :lol:
