How bout when you drop the spool of thread and the cat proceeds to play with it, wrapping it around the chair and table legs and anything else that gets in the way!

Been there done that. Just makes me wonder what world I woke up in that day.

This always happens to me. I wish they would put an alarm in the machine to let you know.[/quote]
Mine has a flashing light and the machine stops to let you know your almost out.[/quote] My Viking stops when the bobbin gets just a few winds left on it and I see a message that I need to change the bobbin, it won't sew until I do. It's annoying sometimes as there is enough thread left to finish the seam. |

I have tried that and it doesn't work with my Sapphire 875, it just stops and beeps at me . It won't sew anymore until I put another bobbin in it. |
Just what we need -- machines that talk back to us.

Don't you hate it when you go to a class, with a full plastic case of bobbins, and a box of pins...and you proceed to drop the bobbin case and bobbins are rolling all over the floor in every direction, unwinding as they go, and while trying to pick up bobbins you tip over the box of pins and the lid comes off and they all spill out, and you didn't bring your magnet to class? You are definitely the center of unwanted attention. Ask me how I know.
