Lucky me...I was about two inches from the end of the row when mine ran out. Whew!

I have one of those red lights for when my bobin is low and last week my bobin ran out. The light failed for the first time in 12 years

I so love my Brothers machine that lets me know when my bobbin is almost empty. When working on a projects, I try to fill several bobbins with the same color so all I have to do is switch out the empty one for a full one. sure saves time in the long run.

Wish some one would come up with a machine that would hold a whole spool of thread in the bobbin. How nice that would be. It really ticks me off to run out of bobbin.

I took mine to the repair shop to have mine repaired and found it was just because I hadn't closed the little door that activates it. Being embarassed from my foolishness I had it cleaned so it wasn't a wasted trip.

Maybe some manufacturer will take note. Thaink? But I already have 5 sewing machines. My DH is sweet and understanding and all, but another machine? I don't know about that, but it sure would be nice.

That's not a bad idea.
