It's more than likely all it is. The only reason I mention the dogs is that I had one here once. She'd hit a balled up bunch of thread ( embroidery design sized too small) and it spun the hook at the right rate, but the dogs didn't move. Somehow she threw the dog timing off 180 degrees, but the hook timing was fine. It was very amusing to see the machine go forward when you pushed the reverse button. 
Newer machine though, much MUCH poorer build.

Maybe there's a roach carcass stuck in the reverse whatchacallit. Maybe the machine has spent her whole life trying to back out of that trailer , trying to escape. I'm so glad you got her; the machine I learned on as a girl was a Kenmore , and the one my hubby bought for me aboout 18 yrs ago was a Kenmore. I don't want to part with her.

Oh wow. I weird out when I find spiders. We don't really have roaches here. They're smart enough not to live here. Uhm. Wait. What does that say about me? 
I actually passed up a Kenmore when a spider popped out of it and said Hi. I was just proud that I didn't drop the machine, but put it down gently instead.
It sounds like the machine couldn't have gone to a better home.

There was one (and we don't have a lot of the big or poisonous spiders here) that was about the size of a nickel that must have crossed the room in 2 seconds flat. I packed up my laptop and moved to another room and announced to DH that there was a SPIIIIIDEERRR!! in the office. LOL! I find all sorts of bug carcasses. They're gross, but I seem to do OK with them. In fact, I'll take bug bodies over the 2 machines I've had here with cat urine on them. Gag.
Tippysmom - I sure hope she at least apologised? I'm guessing it wasn't too bad a bite, since you forgot to mention it. Still, what an experience!
