Dangers of sewing with invisible thread

Trying to finish up a project using invisible thread. Neglected to pull
up the new bobbin thread and stitched about 60" before I realized no
stitching. I think the invisible thread also got sucked down into the
bobbin area and wrapped around something and my 6600 is now locked up.
Off to dealer for repairs Maybe I learned my lesson about holding
the tails when starting. I did say maybe... Still have my 9500 I can
finish on. That's why you need more than 1 machine.

I really believe you've learned your lesson.
Meanwhile, have you attempted to peer around with a tiny light from this
direction and that to see if you can get a glimpse of the offending wrap?
Might be worth a look; OTOH I guess the thread could have warmed enough to
melt.
The Home Ec sewing command is to always Hold the Bunny by the Ears.
It's a good habit even if your manual says you don't have to. You don't.
Sometimes. Unless, of course, you're Lyndon Johnson. Polly

I have this on my machine too. Works get for regular thread, honest.
Don't use it with invisible thread, upholstery thread, or the thicker
blue jean thread, or rayon embroidery thread which is thinner. I do use
it a lot and have not had problems as long as I use it with regular
cotton or cotton poly thread.

thread there that the needle will pick it up and all will be just
peachy. I don't trust it. Polly

I have one of those, but it has lost its sharpness. I can't figure out a
way to sharpen the tiny little thing. I'm in the habit of using scissors
now, anyway.
