Goldilocks Thread

There are times when we are so involved with what we're sewing that don't realize the bobbin thread has run out; right? Don't you just hate it when that happens? You don't want the bobbin thread to be too short or too long; it needs to be juuuuust right!

Here's a tip from my friend Angela at Blue Tree Studio: fill two bobbins with thread. Use one in the conventional way and use the other in place of a spool of thread.

That way you will be able to keep an eye on how quickly the thread is being used. When it's about out at the top of your machine, you can be pretty sure that the bobbin is out too. Pretty cool idea to an ongoing problem, don't you think? Hope you like this idea. Any tip that makes it easier to complete a project is a tip worth sharing!
