I looked through the other replies really quickly (and without coffee as
it's not done brewing yet....) so I may have missed this but I didn't see
where anyone else said it.
I have had this happen from time to time on my serger. When it usually
happens is after I've been using the same needle(s) for a while. I normally
change the needle(s) in my serger after every project (same as I do with my
sewing machine) however there have been times I've forgotten or it's a
really big project and needs a new needles in the middle of it. I'm not
sure exactly what's going on in there, but I've seen what you're describing.
The thread isn't cut. The needle isn't obviously broken. My best guess is
the needle gets dull enough that it's bending the eye (which may also have a
tiny crack in the side) enough to allow the thread to pass out of it. A new
needle always fixes this for me. So try changing the needle (both if she's
using two) and see if that helps you out.
