Oh, I can sympathize. About 4 years ago when I was cleaning and organizing my sewing room I wanted to put my Janome in its case so I could move furniture around. I picked up the clear acrylic extension and realized I couldn't set it down on my tables because they were piled high with large bags of unsorted fabrics, so I set the extension on the floor under the edge of my ironing board figuring that way I couldn't step on it. Then after I put the Janome in its case I turned to put it next to my other machines and lost my balance... you guessed it... Janome and I knocked the ironing board over, the iron fell and machine and I landed on the acrylic extension and split it in half. Of course the extension was a Christmas gift and I only had it for a couple of months.....
To say the least, I was not a very happy camper!
