want to talk poltergeist? I had a red knit afghan we used in the family room almost every day. All of a sudden it's gone. I've looked in every room and closet in the house. the only 2 people that live here are hubby and me, and he was on a business trip. I've been going nuts trying to find it.

Since I got another machine, I wanted to make sure I kept the feet separated. I have a square magnetic bowl you can get at any sewing store. It fits in the tray that came with my 401. For my newer Singer I found a long narrow (3 1/2") magnet that fits just right into the accessory tray. It's very thin. Anything small and metal goes into a magnetic bowl (from Harbor Freight). I have a lot of magnets around but at least they're not going to shift or get carried off by little critters who like to loot.

Same here. I do have a place for MOST everything, but instead of putting things back where they belong, I drop them into various baskets I keep on the sewing table and on the nearby machine. So when I "lose" something, these baskets are the first places I look.

All great suggestions and thanks for sharing in my tragedy! LOL! Amazon emailed that my new Rowenta shipped already. I also thought of picking up a pre-owned iron at one of the many resale shops we have. I am sure the new iron will arrive before I get the chance to shop. Oh well, a break is not a bad thing I guess. Glad to be in such good company on the misplaced items. Losing The afghan was really weird.... Crazy world!
