Warning about cones of thread
Hi, I had a cone of thread sitting on my sewing table. It was sitting on the cone holder. Some how the thread got caught around the fly wheel of my Brother 1500. As I sew the thread was winding off and wraping around the drive shaft. It cracked the plastic hand wheel cover. My dealer has told me that the part can't be replaced unless the whole drive shaft is replaced. So if you use cones be sure not to leave one on the sewing table. Lucky for me the Brother is still working and the thread didn't get into the machine.

I did the exact same thing .. some how ..maybe static .. and it wrapped around the underneath of the wheel. It was a repair bill I wish I could have avoided. Now I put my cones a good distance from the machine.
Sorry this happened to you.

Sorry to hear that it happened to you. My cones are away from the table now. Lesson learnt.
