Nancy,
The wire 'thingy' is bent differently at each end. Place the tip of short bend in the hole on the bottom third of the faceplate. The other end is hooked to the screw on the presser foot. This holds the foot so that it rides just over the fabric. It does not hop.

The wire appears way too long to attach to the thumb screw and then to the foot. Cathy can you put some photos on here on how to attach and use that wire hooked up? I don't understand how you could hook that wire up to a regular foot and actually make it work like a hopping foot. I swear, I learn something new every day! The whole idea of turning a regular foot into a darning foot sounds weird. I want to know more!
