[quote=mpspeedy]My embroidery machine has a warning beep but there is usaully enough thread left to finish the project unless I am just starting.
Does the empty bobbin mess up the programmed pattern when embroidering or can it continue where it left off after you fill the bobbin. Obviously I don't yet have an embroidery machine, but I hope to buy one within the next month.

It will laugh at you.
Just don’t retaliate because the sewing needles will return fire. If they can’t skewer you they’ll throw themselves across the train tracks. You know. For the Gipper.
