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 learned my lesson about holding the
tails when starting. I did say maybe... Still have my 9500 I can
finish on.

I can sympathize with you..... I have had invisible thread get sucked around
my flywheel and pull off about half a spool before I realized it. Not good
for the machine. Or my mood.....

Yup, been there done that. Now if you fix it and it still acts up, take
a part and clean. I'll bet there will be a small piece of it stuck some
where and causing issues. However when I remember to pull up the thread
I don't have any issues with invisible thread, in fact I use it a lot.
Take Care

I've just used it for the first time and had no problems. It was on the
top and behaved better than normal thread.
