My "oops" moment was not exactly a sewing one. I had been using my "2nd" machine for a while at home and went out to sew with a group - I took my "1st" machine with me. It was not a morning of great clarity anyway and I needed to change my bobbin.....talking to someone and dropped the bobbin on the floor. Found it and said "darn - where is my bobbin case?" We all looked for it. Frustrated, I went to the dealer to purchase a new one and was told they would have to order it....loooonnnnnggggg story short - there is NO bobbin case for my 1st machine and this story has been the subject of much mirth and merriment with my friends. The only thing that makes me feel better about it all is that the clerk at the dealer did not know either!
