Does the Fusion 24 have a sensor for when the bobbin thread runs out, and where do I find the adjustment if it does. The alarm sounds when the spool thread breaks.
I have the pro stitcher and it is a pain when the bobbin thread runs out, especially if I am not looking at the quilt.

The thread sensor is for the top thread. There is not a sensor for the bobbin thread. The best solution would be to check your bobbin after you have finished a complete pass, especially if your design is densely quilted.

Good luck,

Although the sensor is for the top thread, when the bobbin runs out, a few inches away the top thread usually breaks. I don't find it a hassle with all the advancements of the PS to change the bobbin and backup. It takes me about a minute because I clean my bobbin area and case with each change.

I also usually use a full bobbin to start with and at the end of the first pass I check how much thread it took and estimate when I'll need to change bobbins. Those are just some of my ideas on the subject. Connie
