#11
I was just patching a hole in the knee I didn't here anything fall I can tell its from the machine it matches the other screws except there is no line on it my husband says its a thumb screw. We looked every where we even opened the machine can't find anything I was just using the regular sewing foot I checked everything about it just every open hole nothing but it had to come from somewhere .

Good luck in finding where it goes.
Hope you find the home for the screw.

That happened to me. Take the bottom off and you will find the screw.

Its an Janome 11000 and I took the arms off so I can sew the jean and I didn't hear it fall out. We opened up the machine can't find where it goes. Any ideas thanks

I hate that when it happens to me. I would tape the screw in plastic bag to the sewing machine. That way you will always know where the screw is. Lets hope that no damage is done until you can find it's home.

Put it in the accessory box on the front of the machine. When you find out where it goes, you'll have it. If your machine has to go into the shop, tell the repairman it's in there if he needs it. I had the little screw fall out that holds the presser foot up to go over thick seams and just put it back in where it belonged. I also have the 11000.
