As Kate has mentioned, we are doing major projects.  So our machines are humming along.  Sometimes we have been sewing late into the night.  So the question becomes…when to stop.  

For me it is when this lovely gets used too many times on the same seam!

And then when this happens – my machine does not warn me of low bobbin.  I think they need to invent flashing lights as a warning.

Thank goodness I have my stash of Auriful thread to replenish!  Yeah.

    I definitely went right up to my “should’ve stopped” moment last night… It almost ended very badly! I wound up taking a little chunk out I my thumbnail with my rotary cutter- so glad it was my nail and not my thumb!! I figured that was my cue to put everything down and take a break for the night.
