Careful what you wish for.
The next Pfaff had a different kind of low bobbin indicator:
It showed me in big letters on the display "Low Bobbin" AND it stopped the foreward motion of the sewing process dead in its tracks. I could start sewing again, and sometimes, I could sew 5 more stitches, sometimes 3. Since there was at least 6 foot of thread on the bobbin, I had a lot of starts and stops. Ready to scream - LOUDLY!
My new machine has a drop-in bobbin and I hope I will pay attention.
My Brother does this and it can be very annoying and a waste of thread.
My first machine a Singer 40 yrs ago had a drop in bobbin with a clear cover, have one in my Elna, I watch it, and STILL run out of thread. duh
