It happened to me with a cone of rayon embroidery thread. Luckily I saw it in time to get it out myself. Thanks to the surgical seam ripper I was able to get in there and get it out. I now make sure when I use a cone I put it BEHIND the machine and have the thread go between the 2 thread posts on my machine.

I have fur babies that seem to like to wander between cone and machine so I definitely pull it out of the machine. Walking away for any length of time I could come back to the thread stretched off across the table and into the unknown.

ANOTHER WARNING ABOUT THREAD CONES LEFT ON SEWING TABLES: I had my thread cone in thread stand and threaded through my machine. While away for the day, our cat, Wilson, jumped up and got caught in the thread that reaches from cone to machine. YIKES!..... CAME HOME TO A SPIDER WEB OF THREAD THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE. COPY CAT

Good heavens, I never would have thought of such a thing. Sorry to hear about your machine, but I'm moving my cones now. Thanks for the warning.
