Trox Posted January 31, 2013 Report Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) On My Efka motor I can program a stitch counter if I want to. And since I almost always use the same stitch length I can find out when the bobbin is low on thread. setting up some kind of alarm warning for it is possible. However, this is not anything I would use my time on. I have a "healthy" routine in checking the bobbins before sewing, and is it below a 30 % I change it for a full one. I do not trow the thread away, I save it for a small project later. I have a lot of spare bobbins, I can also use the ones for my Adler 204 who has the same shuttle. You better buy some extra bobbins, it gives you a better "thread economy".

Members Anne Bonnys Locker Posted February 3, 2013 Members Report Posted February 3, 2013 KABOOM - Oh Shit..... Just wait until I design the bobbinless lock stitch machine......... OR here's an idea. You guys ever see those fire crackers that have a string on each end and you pull them apart to make it go bang? You could tie one end to the bobbin and the other to the end of the thread, it'll go bang when you get to the end and since the string breaks it won't break your needle. I'm joking of course. Don't anyone be dumb and try it but if you do get video. Billie, That's a great idea But it might discolor your leather when it goes off. Quote Darren Brosowski
