"The bobbin thread is almost empty." message appears on the LCD during embroidering and the machine has stopped. What does it mean?

When the bobbin begins to run out of thread during embroidering, the machine stops and the message below appears.  If very little sewing remains, you can embroider approximately 10 final stitches without rethreading the machine by pressing OK key and restarting the machine. The machine will stop with displaying the same message after sewing approximately 10 stitches.
