OMG you been looking in my window, haven't you? Don't mind the tossed scraps, the lengths tossed aside, the threads all over the floor, I've been in charity stocking mode. I too, stretched that bobbin thread to the end of the seam yesterday, but was so frustrated because when I rewound the bobbin I forgot to go back to straight stitch from the zigzag I'd been using when thread ran out.... :oops: :oops:

In a way I do the opposite, once I finish a seam and I am not sure if I have enough thread to make it to another end I take the remaining thread off the bobbin and rewind it fresh. I know, I know I waste thread but I guess it is just a small part of my OCD. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :oops: :oops:

My husband said "I know Nina's a great machine, but she isn't voice activated!"

Luckily, I soon went to a class, where I learned the right way...ah....push the stop button. Imagine that! :lol:

uh, well, I just realized that some may not want to know what I used to yell stop about...it wasn't my sewing machine! :shock: - :oops: - :mrgreen:
