Or when the needle decides to break and you go through 4 needles in a row because you forgot how the needle fits into the machine -- you needed to turn the needle 1/4 turn to fit completely into the hole it belongs in???

LMAO I just did that tonight. I dont have a significant other even worse that just leaves me to step or sit on it. I was laffing saying i need a huge magnet to find it. I hate when the bobbins go wild too. I got a quilting magazine and i was shocked to see they FINALLY make a bobbin buddy that goes over the thread part of the bobbin so the thread doesnt go wild. Ok but thats for storage and doesnt count when loading the bobbin lol. Or when u have every color of thread under the sun ..'cept when u need to mend something ad u cant find the right color anywhere knowing u have it,,,,,, somewhere lol

Don't you hate when you buy more fabric than the pattern requires for insurance just to find out that the pattern has cutting errors? And then to make matters worse, you run out of fabric and there is no more at the large discount store?

Im waiting for when we can just put another spool of thread in place of a bobbin. Why havent they done that yet??? They can computerize a sewing machine and make it do miracles but not run out of thread lol

My favorite grip is when I'm reading a tip for sewing, then at the bottom there is a price for a book explaining this method. Sure we all need a living, but get out, let us go to the store and pick our own books. I've ordered books with such explanation and when received, nothing I could use.

This is a great idea, I'll have to remember it, or I hope I remember it. Thanks!!!

Or when you miss a flower head pin and the dog eats it without you knowing it until he gets sick, needs an operation and curtails your fabric budget for quite a while. He's fine now and I keep very close tabs on all things metal.

My new 830 bernina warns me several times that there is only so much thread left on the bobbin, it is great . :thumbup:

I THOUGHT about buying the last yard on the bolt - and didn't think I needed it - and then when I realized I did need it - there is no more fabric like that to be found within a 50 mile radius
