Low Bobbin
The Tiara III includes a low bobbin capability so you can
estimate how soon your bobbin thread will run out.
This Low Bobbin Capacity is based on an estimate of
how much of a particular thread can fit on a bobbin, in
combination with other quilting factors such as tension,
stitches per inch, and how much bobbin thread you pull
up when beginning and ending your quilting (Figure 33).
To estimate how much thread is on a bobbin, place a full
bobbin in the machine and under the heading Bobbin
Thread Capacity, press the Record button and quilt as
usual.
Solid beep for 1/3 of a stitch cycle,
no beep for the rest of the cycle.

When the bobbin thread runs out, press the square Stop
Recording button and note how many yards is indicated
under the Bobbin Thread Capacity (Figure 34), perhaps
210 yards. Since you want a warning as to when the
bobbin is getting low, use the minus (–) button to specify
a lower number, such as 195 yards. Save that as one of
the Bobbin Thread Capacity Presets. You might want
to make a note as to which type of thread the preset
represents. Put a new bobbin with the same thread into
the machine and press the New Bobbin button. Then
press the Alarm button. As you quilt, the remaining
bobbin thread value will estimate how much thread
remains on the current bobbin, and when you reach the
capacity value, an alarm will sound warning you that
your bobbin is nearly out of thread (Figure 35).
Solid beep for 1/3 of a stitch cycle,
no beep for the rest of the cycle.
