    One time, when I was finished using a machine that had run out of bobbin thread, I took the bobbin case out of its home and put it into the machine "pocket" - - so that I would remember to wind the bobbin before I started using the machine again.
    Take a deep breath, and think - - have you looked in every hidey hole in your machine? Wherever you put it, it made perfect sense at the time, you have just figured out there is a different perfect sense place! <g>
    Hang in there - - it will get all sorted out soon enough.
    Oh! And, by the way
    you don't have to pre-wash, but if you do, just cut a small corner off each corner of your fabric and throw it into your washer/dryer - - for some reason, cutting the corners helps cut down on the cut ends ravelling, and! You will be able to remember what you have washed and which is factory fresh <wave>

    That is so hard to deal with! Such a disapointment!1 I am so sorry!

    Try e-bay for a replacement. Sometimes they are cheaper there.

    look at it another way ...

    once you have purchased Case #2, you'll find the first. then you'll have one to use with regular thread and another you can use for specialty threads.

    you'll always have your tension right for regular threads and can fiddle with the tension on the other without worrying about resetting it properly for regular thread.

    this little inconvenience is really "cosmic permission" to buy a spare case. you would probably not have allowed yourself the luxury otherwise. ;-)

    It should be there. Look for it where you parked it. Under furniture also, or where your thread is. You probably wanted to fill it up and got side tracked.

    A quilting friend of mine's young son (about 5 at the time) somehow "misplaced" her quarter inch foot. He is a teenanger now, and she never did find the foot. i hope you do find it, before you order a new one. Good luck
