I have misplaced, lost, or.... my dongle cannot find it any place, if anyone knows where to buy another I would sure like to hear from you. As you know this is another important item when we are embroiding. So glad you found your foot.
275Sue, I'm glad you found it!! You're too young to be doing this, you know. My Mom and I both would move things to a "safe place" where we'd be sure to know where they were. Then forget where the "safe place" was! My late mother always swore if she ever found that "safe place" she put all that stuff she couldn't find, she'd be rich, hee hee hee. Hugs, Marji

59617I have lost the inside of my A hoop for my Janome Perhaps you will find it for me otherwise I have to buy a complete new hoop as they don't sell parts
76409I lost two hoops for my machine last year at this time and I never did find them. I was the only person here during that time so I have to believe that I threw them in the trash by mistake. Replacing them did not make me happy.
22592I was just starting searching the place, activated my sleuthhound ....
when I scrolled down and read you found it ! good for you
740451Now do you think you could help me find mine. Serious, I did loose one and never found it. I, too, had a spare. But I'm lost if I loose this one. So glad you found it. Makes you feel so good to accomplish something like that.

23579I found it this morning - nestling in one of the grooves where the iron stands on the ironing board. I'm sure I didn't put it there!! Perhaps I do have a house elf.
Thanks to you all for looking and giving me so many laughs in your posts to this thre

Oh, you found it!.. :{ .. I was quite looking forward to planning a trip to help you look for it. Oh well, maybe next time.
Actually I'm really glad that you did find it there>>>if it had been on the floor and you trod on it you could have damaged it, or your foot. We'll all have to add the ironing board to our 'places to look' for things in future.
140717OK....please put us out of our misery. Have you found your foot yet??
Are you really going to try to do some one-legged embroidery??
Following this 'thread' I did some tidying around my machine today and I've found some very interesting stuff. I don't need or want it but it's still interesting. Well... if you really want to know, I found an unfinished Christmas apron begun ages ago and now it's finished!! I'm the only one I know who wears an apron for Kitchen Work around here so this little beauty is for me and it fits perfectly.... even has two wooden snowflake buttons to hold the neck strap and I bought those buttons in Scottsdale, AZ, at Hancock's before it closed many, many moons ago.
Your lost foot has done it's work for the day!!!

I'm so pleased for you. I will have another look today, but I don't hold out much hope. I'm so relieved I have a spare!
17214No use asking me. I have enough trouble finding my own things in my pile of "stuff". You have a nice tidy space it can't be too far away.
2350I have looked in the zip files you sent to me and couldn't find it :))
I'm glad you have a spare one. Hugs, Yoriko

253108If it is a clear foot ,its probably sitting there staring at you, waiting for you to find it .
Have you looked under the machine .I hunted every where for my machine tweezers the other day ,They had fallen down the small gap between the sewing tables & got stuck half way down ,had to use a 2ft long ruler to move them.I run this ruler under the sewing cabinets a lot to check for missing items that I can't see but I can hear a noise if they connect with the ruler,saves pulling everything out.
25212The thing I loose the most is the little plastic piece that covers the bobbin area. I lay it down and it wanders off. Usually turns up behind the machine. Thought I'll buy a spare but that little piece of plastic is $8.00. Luckily my Brother sewing machine has the same type as the emb machine. And I have found it once again until the next time.

67271Oh dear! Certainly you have searched your pockets and possibly
(hand)bags lying around your embroidery working place? Try a look
into the thread spool inside if you know what I mean / Should we
search Karla's living room ? What helps me often is remembering
what I have done last around working with the missing item.
Did I go to the kitchen in between? Did the phone ring or the doorbell?
Or did I do some laundry - hope you will find it soon! Hugs Maria
54555Mine is in the great big child proof medicine bottle. Tried a compartment bin and it took up too much room. Since your post it is almost ten hours later and hope you have found it.
89895I keep a little plastic cup next to my machine, I keep both feet there when I'm not using it, otherwise stays on my machine. I also put my empty bobbins in it along with my little tool that undoes the feet and the plate under the presser foot. Knock on wood, have not done that yet but I would lose my head if not attached. lol!
23281Yesterday my bent-tip tweezers disappeared in the middle of a project. Looked on all the tables, counters, shelves. Searched all the drawers multiple times. Even moved the thread caddy out and (GASP!) swept the floor under it and the machine cabinet. Finally gave up and got another pair. After supper when I went back to the sewing room, I found the tweezers suspended on an electrical cord hanging from the cabinet - halfway between floor and table!
626Hope by now you have found it. So frustating when we do things like that-I speak from experience! Is yours clear like mine? Hard to see even when you know where it is. I was down on my hands and knees rubbi ng all over the floor and luckily found mine. I put a little dot of red nail polish on it so now it does show up a little better.
822816529Ha! had that fright just this morning. I started at 6.30 today to 'positively sew something today' and couldn't find my 2A foot. 1A was in the machine; really needed 2A. Hunted all over and then decided to look at all my machine feet - all six of them!!! - in the machine tools hatch. There it was, 2A, upside down in its little niche, clear plastic side uppermost.
By this time it's about 7 a.m. and soon I have to get DHDon up and about. I've squashed in about 15 minutes sewing.... but I Have Sewn Today.
I hope you find your foot. Have you tried your pin container?? your gadgets container that might be sitting by your machine?? Have you looked closely by every chair and table leg where it might have settled if it slipped off the sewing table??
Give me a couple of thousand dollars and I'll come over and help you look..... :} .... I'm longing to slip my moorings here for a while.

17214I think it is having a nice get-together with my favorite edge stitching foot that went awol two days ago.
145196Pleased to hear you have a spare. Sorry I do not have yours. I am going to buy a spare next time I go to the sewing store as I am sure I will lose mine one day. I am also going to buy a spare cover for the bobbin case as that seems to dissapear on me quite a bit. I am always losing things. Still have not found my external hardrive I hid over 6 years ago. . Shirley
52679We need to put chips on them so they would be included in the Internet of Everything. It's like I can never find my cell phone ; I miss the daus when the phone was on the wall. At least I could find it. LOL
5660IT WAS MY LITTLE NIECE!!!! SHE LOVES TO PLAY WITH ANYTHING THAT IT IS FOR SEWING, I GAVE HER A TINY PAIR OF SCISSORS ONE DAY, AND SHE DECIDED TO CUT MY BED SHEET!!!! SHE IS SO FUNNY...SO I THINK SHE'S GO IT!!!!
60484I always blame Neville - my in house elf - maybe you have a Neville visiting you!
Hope you find it soon.
2738I've just read everyone's comments and am now going to find a bowl or make an organiser in the hope that I never do lose anything. Jo
2958I haven't lost mine yet, but then I've only had my machine a few months - from smug old me!!!!
2958Mine was last behind my machine, kind of tucked under it. I hate this when it happens. It has also been playing over on my cutting table with the feet of my other machine. Sometimes it just runs away!

70753Anything I lose is always in a "very safe place" so safe that even I can't find it... Glad you have a spare - it will show up someday....
11257I put mine in my pocket once so I would not lose it. Promptly forgot about it. I cleaned the whole sewing room (good way to get it organised) to no avail. When checking my trouser pockets before washing..........
57492Oh my I did not no there was a foot grabber out and about. I just made sure I put mine back on last use. I knocked mine off in floor other day it hid under sewing area close to stack I have. I also have spare but that is it ...lol it is supposed to be my spare. So I do hope you find it.
86901There is a sure way to find it - order a new one and the old one will turn up!! This happened to me 2 years ago!!!! Hugs to you, Laura*
95386And what makes you think I found it?

But I keep a basket by the machine also for my odds and ends. Also have an apron thing that has a flap that sits under the macnine. Love the pockets. Holds all the different scissors in their special pocket. Etc. But would never put something like thefoot in there. Too small. Good luck.
10818Mine is clear, bet yours is too! So hard to find. I have a little bowl by the machine I put them in when I take them off or I'd spend half my life hunting for things...still am hunting about 1/4 of the time!! Good luck!
35675873Ha ha ha!!! Now see there.....that's what you get for "cleaning & organizing" your sewing room. If you had left well enough alone, you would be able to go right to it in the jumbled mess your creative space used to be.
Well, I'm just teasing you, of course. But this is the very kind of thing that would happen to me. I keep a small basket on my sewing table to put all the little bits in as I use/change them. Once done with a project, I put (try to, anyway) those small things away properly so I have a better chance at finding them next time.
31625I have to have multiples, I misplace everything or put it in a "safe" place, and once out of mind. I am the same way with notes, time to create, time to search for, and then time to throw in trash!
173584I did that! I was moaning to a friend and she looked and looked as well..then she got up and walked over and picked it up from the floor...where I had just swept! The thing needs to be florescent, or magnetic, or tied to a string around my ankle!
3099It's right there in that basket that used to be organized, but is just a mish-mash of widgets now.
158560Always check your pockets. At my house I must also check my husbands pockets and his desk and his car and his...for my stuff. LOL
I could check his desk for your embroidery foot if you like.
I am so glad you have a spare!
57620It is like my sissors, someone in another universe has borrowed it. Glad you had another.
497I couldn't find mine for days because I put it where it belonged... lol
