How do you know your bobbin is out of thread?
#13
Just today adding a border after I got to the END and found out I ran out at the beginning.LOL AND I knew I was low, just didn't realise I was that low. In the other room (living room) I have a brother that beeps and stops sewing.

How do you know when I've run out of bobbin thread? When you hear me cursing across the house.
I usually catch it pretty quickly, because it does make a different stitching sound, but sometimes I'm just not paying attention, and I've sewn like a whole side without any bobbin thread. %#@&*$!@

I'm taking a mental health break from sewing right now because I had a similar problem tonight...but it was the TOP thread that apparently broke (haven't figured out why). I didn't notice it (by sound or looks) because I'm using one of the paper border patterns and the needle continued to pop through the paper as usual. Arrrrrrrggghhhhhhh.

Get in the habit of checking often, especially before stitching long seams and especially if is metal rather than see thru.
I would get so frustrated when that happened with my old machine. Now I'm lucky enough to have 2 machines that beep and stop sewing to let me know when the bobbin is almost empty.
