Crazy bobbins, dropped 1 three times trying wind it back up. I guess it thought it was a yo yo in training. Also broke the tip of the machine needle off in the overlay on my nail,saved my finger.
I call mine "Gremlins".

When you just put enough thread on your bobbin to make it to the end of you piece, however you now do not have enough thread for the top and the stores are all closed for some silly holiday?

My floor must have a slight slope. If I'm quilting while sitting on the sofa and a spool of thread falls, it disappears and I know it's gone way under the sofa, which means getting a flashlight, moving the coffee table, and finding something flat enough to get under there. Hate it!!!

Oh my word did this thread make my day. I have had all this happen to me. I drop my bobbin and my sewing partner, my cat, immediately plays with it and there is thread all over the sewing room.
The worst thing that ever happened was I when I was cutting out fabric for a class I was taking the next day, way too late at night, and sliced the side of my finger off. My DH went down to Harbor Freight the next day and bought me glass suction handles for all my rulers. Now my fingers get nowhere near the edge of the ruler.

How about when you are, on one of those RARE occasions, vacuuming around your sewing area and hear that telltale rattle that means you've sucked up a bobbin or other mysterious object, and then you have to decide if you want to dig around in the gross vac bag to see what it was and rescue it?

That is where my AWOL bobing will resurface!! I'm sure my DH will hoover while I am away!!!
