PSA for Sewists

I was sewing on a block yesterday and had just finished a seam. I pulled it out from under the presser foot only to discover it was not sewn together because I had run out of bobbin thread. No alarm had sounded and it should have as that is a feature of my machine.  However, because this has happened before, I didn't run my machine over to the Cotton Shop for repair. That would have been embarrassing as is so shockingly shown in the picture.

So I've decided to make cleaning my machine an end of the month, every month, priority. You might want to consider it if your are sewing constantly.
