When I went to clean the bobbin area before starting today, I found there was about a yard of thread left in bobbin #5 – perfect timing! So out it came, everything got cleaned and oiled and in went the last bobbin I’d wound just before starting. Love that when it happens.
When you’ve been quilting awhile you get to hear the difference in sound as the bobbin approaches empty and avoid surprise. Used to be that I’d often break the needle when I ran out of bobbin thread. That doesn’t happen anymore. And having the stack of filled bobbins ready to go means that if I have more quilting time in me I can keep going until I don’t.
