I think the low bobbin light is a necessity for the kites that I sell. Even with the low bobbin light I sometimes run out of thread in the middle of a seam.

If you sew enough with a machine you will get to know the sound diffrence when the bobbin is getting low.

As long as you turn off the TV and Stereo...

I can tell when my Bernina is getting low, but I dont have enough miles on my Singer 20U yet...

Link works here. Maybe your ISP is blocking the IP?

Works here in Kansas. Crazyweb.com is somehting that looks like it may be blocked by a spam blocker. Judging by name only. I had no idea it was about vintage sewing machines. Rolling Eyes

And there I was 10 years ago using a hand needle and thread to rebuild a vaporized Graphite stunt kite that went from 50mph to 0 not even denting the tree in the park. I've got a little hand operated Singer sewing machine that's cute. I'm just giving up and this time getting back into the kite game and gota have a machine that functions. No playing with trees this time if stunting. I learned my leason, although the kite was begging for a better skin Very Happy

If you have a Jo Ann Fabric store nearby, check out the White machines.
www.joann.com/
They have accessories in the store, and all quite affordable. The heavy duty machines are between 130-200 bucks.
