I've got another one for you -- I was doing the quilting on one of the quilts I'm making for Jan's soldiers and the backing was navy blue. Because there was quite a bit of red on the top, I decided to have blue in the bobbin and red in the needle. Wellllll, when it came time to put in a new bobbin, guess what I did? That's right, I put in RED and proceeded to stitch away. Didn't realize my mistake until THAT bobbin was empty!!! Now I'm ripping out the blue because I decided the red looked better!!!

No that feeling and I have to be double quick or my little minx of a dog runs for it, she usually find it for me but I have to be quick to get it out of her mouth before she has a darned good chew.

I have a machine that beeps when the is very low.
This always happens to me. I wish they would put an alarm in the machine to let you know.
