grrr....I haven't found it yet.....I have looked everywhere..it is a hardwood floor and I have swept it....I do have a lot of stuff around...wish I was a neater quilter....I had a medical appt today and hopefully tomorrow will be able to search some more and tidy up the area. When I break a needle....I usually search for the pieces and take out a new needle to lay beside to see if I am missing any, this needle did not seem to make a noise or anything....I didn't feel it hitting me....it is a mystery

I hope you can find the piece of needle.
My machine is in the shop and I "think" it is because of a broken needle that was lost somewhere. I couldn't find the tip anywhere. It sews fine but doesn't sound normal. The LQS finally heard the noise as it was intermittent and found a thread wrapped up inside. There was also mention of replacing some damaged parts.
