I also hate every single one previously mentioned. Just this morn. I dropped my little screwdriver I use for changing feet. Just could not see that little bugger anywhere. Had to get on my hands & knees & move everything in sight. Still can't believe where I found it.
where?

About 3 feet in front of my feet & behind something completely out of range from where it should be. This has happened to me a lot lately where I'd drop something & it seemed to just vanish. May never find it.

I've been AWOL from quilting (and the Board) for almost a year. I know! but life got in the way. Anyway, I pulled out a scrappy Jacob's Ladder top I started a year ago that was all in rows and ready to be sewn. Got my rows sewn and started on borders. Tension problems! Cleaned everything, put in a new needle and literally limped along by adjusting the tension far from the default. Got the last border done, packed up the machine and off to the repairman for servicing. Should have it back by next week, so it's not so bad. We need to add overdue for servicing to the list, LOL. BTW, it's good to be sewing again and great to back to the board.

And, no, ladies, it's really not as painful as you'd think, just really unnerving.
I didn't have to nerve to back out the needle, so I just took the needle out of the machine and had DH take it out for me! Mine was not too painful because it was close to the tip of my finger, but I have seen some that are right in the center, and I imagine that had to hurt...at least after the fact.

Good evening, this would be something I would do. How very frustrating.
I sure had a good laugh though. So very funny when it happens to someone else. ggggg!
My solution would be that you keep the darn tablecloth. After all you didn't go for it, it just happened to be there in you way......
Still laughing......
Sweet Cheeks :lol:
