Oh No.....................empty bobbins!!!!
AH! Full bobbins. Bliss!!! ;-)10 empty bobbins is a signal for me to clean & oil my sewing machine. Change the needle, too.
And, now......................sewing, sewing, sewing!
Having a good week? Thanks for stopping by.
In Friendship!

Oh full bobbins make me happy! But empty bobbins mean I've been sewing - which is happy too!
Ohhh full bobbins make my day too!
That is a good way to keep track!
You're so good! And I'll bet your machine is so happy!
You are a Good Girl! I badly need to get one of those bobbin holders - great idea!
Hugs - Lurline♥
I'm using up some 'linty' thread so I'm cleaning my machine almost with each new bobbin...which I must admit is out of character for me. Good work keeping your BFF serviced and ready to sew!
I love the sight of full bobbins, so many possibilities.
Thanks for the tip on how often clean the mashine, every 10´th bobbin :)
I just cleaned my machine on Sunday and I couldn't believe how filthy it was! Forgot to change the needle though...I need to do that today! :0)
Thanks for the reminder!
Now that's one neat way to keep yourself "in the know" when to clean your machine.
My machine "drinks" so I have to oil her often so I clean her often, after every project and alot of time in between projects.
You must have been busy humming along with your machine.
I like those pictures. It means more pictures to get to see of your fabulous creations. I am trying to finish a swap I should not have joined.
Good idea, run lots of bobbins. Have fun sewing. I can't wait to see what you've been making.
That is a neat tray for bobbins, I need to get one ,and it look good full of bobbins and now your ready to sew. HAPPY SEWING!
I have one of those thingamajigs and don't use it. You must be sewing up a storm, Darlene!
I change my needle with each new bobbin.....where did I get that idea? So I can go longer?
That's a good reminder, thanks for the tip.
Nothing so sweet as a bunch of full bobbins ready to go!
I have two of those bobbin holders. One for the Bernina and one for the Featherweight. I love those holders. I like your tracking system :-)
You go girl...fire up that machine!
I'm with Loris I clean my machine after every bobbin. I have found that my machine runners better when it's clean. Is there anyway I could talk you into cleaning your machine more often? To wait till you've used 10 bobbins seems like a long time. I would hate to see your machine chock on you.
Hmmm that gives me an idea. I am terrible about changing my needle and heard the distinct pop pop pop the other day.
Good idea...I usually fill 4 at a time...think 10 would be a better number to have on hand!
That's a good idea!
Your machine is having a day at the spa...that's what mine needs now after the retreat. That's a great way to keep track of when to do it. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
Oh what fun - full bobbins - siiiiiiiigh - mine need filled, might I bring them over?
What a neat idea, when the bobbins get empty then it's cleaning time. I need to think of me a way to remind me to take care of my sewing machine. You have inspired me.
Darlene!!
What a wonderful idea!! I love that and easy to REMEMBER!! You know me and my 'steel trap'...ha ha
Take care!

Darlene,
Love your full bobbins. I use these rings for my longarm big bobins too...they are great. Have a great weekend.
Smiles,
Millie
I keep track of when to clean & oil my machine the same way...every 10 bobbins and after doing any significant amount of machine quilting.
You're so organized! Great way to keep track!
That's a great way to remember that you need to clean the machine!!!!
