I have a $20 garage sale machine I keep in a dark corner of our cabin just for that reason! I've never had to pull it out, but I know if I ever got rid of it I'd be forgetting things all the time. Cheap insurance. Yes, it's not the best machine, but when I want to sew, almost anything will do in a pinch.

Sorry to hear this happened. I thought it was bad when I showed up at a class (I thought I was well-organized) with everything but the gas pedal. Lucky for me they had one that worked.
It costs way too much to have the pedal over-nighted to you. I hope you've found a solution!

YIKES!
I have forgotten so much while I travel! One time my husband forgot to pack underpants when we went to China for a month. We went to a Chinese department store and tried to use sign language. We weren't doing too well when a Chinese man, who spoke perfect English, came up to us, saw our problem, and helped us out.........just too funny. We now have a list to pack with, but we still forget stuff!'
Hope you get your machine foot and can have some fun sewing!

Why not try calling the local sewing machine store or even the local quilt shop and explain your situation....the local sewing machine store (if they sell your brand) just might lend you a foot pedal....never know!! It would be good business as I bet you would let all your vacation area quilter friend know. Good luck....
