And it explains why they put those "junk catchers" under the machine cabinets...to gather up all the stuff that falls out when we stow our machines. I thought my bobbin and shuttle were lost forever. I even went back to the sale and asked to search through the junk drawers only to find both in the rotten bottom of the cabinet when I got back home. Boy, did I feel stupid...oh, and the front slide plate on mine is missing too..probably victim of the same tip-and-drop. I am learning SO much here!
