Pat C Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Oh dear, how frustrating! I've been very close before, but not that close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodlebug Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 the best is when you run out at the last stitch of a knot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie H Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 That's happened to me twice, but not quite that close! And you know you wasted that 1 inch of thread somewhere and it's bugging you, right? :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustSewSimple Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 That makes for a waste of time, money, energy and brain activity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think that is better than quilting away and then when it was time to tie off, I realized I had about 2' of top thread with no bobbin thread attached to it ! It was black thread on black flannel and very hard to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra Darlington Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I just had to laugh. That has happened to me (well, not that close to the end) a few times recently. I begin holding my breath about 3/4 the way across and hope to make it the rest of the way. Nope. Gotta just shake my head and deal with it.

CrazyAboutQuilting Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 :D And it's even worse if you wind your own bobbins so then you have to stop and go wind another bobbin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleshoes Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Even worse when you just have one cone of thread and have to take it off machine to wind a bobbin. I feel your pain. lol Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindyT Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Only half an inch???? I think you win that award for closest to the finish line without going over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 And when this happens and you have to wind a bobbin with a color you might not use again for a quilt or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
