meg Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Well, maybe it has already been asked and I missed it. I don't know if I'd even do it, but I still would like to know. Can I add the bobbin sensor to Lola-baby? Or do you need the fancy new set up for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandmaLKB Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 That would be a nice feature ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCavanaugh Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi Meg, The circuitry is all different on the new generation machine to be able to handle the low bobbin sensor and top thread break sensor. Lola-baby would need to be traded in for a new model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrammaJoy Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 This may not be the right place to ask this, so please direct my question, if necessary, to the proper spot. Just got my "new" (demo) Millie with Bobbin Sensor. So far, the sensor hasn't moved off full, and I have been through 4 bobbins. I read in the manual to push reset, I did. I read to roll it down to "empty". I did. I'm obviously doing something wrong. I am using the prewound L bobbins. Can anyone give me more info on how to get the thing to work. Mine shows full to the top all the time. Thanks, Joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaSteller Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I have an old machine - well, 10 years old, anyway. I think to bobbin always makes a fairly distinctive rattle when it's nearly empty. If you think you've been running for a while and it might be getting close to empty, just listen for the rattle. As soon as I hear it, I stop and check. Sure enough, very little thread left, so I change it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachside Quilter Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Here's how I do it: Insert full bobbin and turn "Bobbin Level Adjust" clockwise till indicator reads "Full" Quilt until bobbin completely out. Turn Bobbin Level Adjust counter clockwise to indicate "E"; light will flash Insert New full bobbin; hit bobbin reset. Note, the indicator level will only climb part way up the gauge. This is showing the true amount of a "Full" bobbin for that type of thread. Quilt; machine will "beep" and lights flash showing the bobbin is getting low. Should give you enough notice to complete row or block before running out completely. Insert New full bobbin; hit bobbin reset. When you turn off your machine and start on a new day, you will need to set the first bobbin (of the same type you were using before) to the proper "full" level and indicator will work properly. I have placed a post it next to my indicator and marked "full" for the different type bobbin threads I use; i.e. Magna Glide Classics and Magna Glide Delights. I hope this helps!! I love my bobbin indicator!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgene Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Vickie I really like your idea of marking the levels,of your different bobbins. I need to do that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
