Bo...laughed out loud at that last part - hahahaha!<br /><br />Bobbin thread - depends on how in the zone I am, can sometimes be many feet of sewing before I realize it's out of thread. <br /><br />But, oftentimes, I think to myself, "I wonder when I'm going to run out of bobbin thread" and within inches I run out! Do I sense the "energy" of a bobbin low on thread somehow? Now, that's the subject for a blog for sure! "The energy of the bobbin thread"<br /><br />Soldier on!!

But I have to say I think you had it worse - not having water and Jenny Egg being sick. I only had to content with frozen pipe, a non- function double wide garage door (I had to woman handle that door open to prop it up so I could get the car out), a lost garage door opener, and a bat at my brother's house. Colors - well you use every color under the rainbow, but I will guess turquoise and yellow. My machine has a flashing light when the bobbin only had a couple of yards of thread left so I watch so I don't go too far sewing without thread. It also makes a slightly different sound in case I don't pay attention to watching behind the needle.

If I am doing a long straight seam, it can be two feet or more before I realize I have run out of thread! If I am going slower, removing lots of pins as I go, it is usually 12 inches. I really hate it when I have to re-pin! My friend said to listen closely to the Juki, for she changes her tune when the bobbin is empty. I am learning to listen carefully....and pay attention!<br /><br />And I would not trade my Juki for ANYTHING!!!Julie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734492783117182541noreply@blogger.com
