I can't believe I did something so crazy.

A couple of my friends were admiring my Bow Tuck Purse, so I said I would make them one. When I got home, I couldn't find the pattern. I started cleaning and straightening my cupboards that line the walls in my sewing room. Found the pattern in the second to last cupboard. At least my room is tidy now, and I donated over 50 books to the library and opened up a couple of shelves on my bookcase. Haven't started the purses yet. I think we all do this at one time or another.

Sorry for your "loss".........If you find them or get them back......find a nice space on the wall of your stash closet and put towel hooks up and hang your hoops on them.....that way they will be out of your way and won't fall on your head from the top shelf any longer. You will need hooks with deep curves in them so the hoops will stay on them. For the large hoops you may need two hooks to hang them on ( to kind of balance them and keep them from falling off because of their size). Hope you recover your hoops!!

I'm always moving stuff to a better place and not finding them later when i need them. I really hope that you get your hoops back. Once you start embroidering, you will love it. I have the 9000 and the 11000. I bought a pegboard square from Walmart and some longs hooks that work with them. Put it on the wall by my machine, wound selvage strips around the hook(to pad the hook for the hoops) and hung up the hoops and templates. It works very well -out of the way and i can still find them. Did the same thing for my rulers and templates that had hanging holes. Good luck.

This reminds me of the time my mom made a snowsuit for my nephew out of my husband's navy uniform (a decent wool). She put it in a plastic garbage bag, and you guessed it! My brother put it out with the trash! Anyway, may your good karma return and may those embordery hoops be at the donation site waiting for you!

I had to write him a note promising never to throw out anything again, and he still keeps it in his wallet. LOL of course we have thrown lots of stuff out, but my rule for quilting is that if it doesn't take up a lot of room, put it in a bod or the bottom drawer, because in years to come I may figure out what to do with it. Like a stash!
