"There is not much thread remaining in the bobbin." message appearing on the LCD.

What does it mean and how do I clear it?

When the bobbin begins to run out of thread during embroidering, this message appears on the display.
If the pattern is nearly complete at this time, you can finish the pattern safely without changing the bobbin thread.
