Totally silly of me. I was cleaning the lint from my bobbin case and my automatic thread cutter when the tiny, tiny screw that holds the cutter in place dropped into the bottom of the case where I couldn't get at it. I made a quick phone call to the sewing machine repair fella in the next town and dashed my machine over to the next town.

Last night I was moping around the house because I didn't have my machine.

I received a phone call and my machine is as good as new and ready to be picked up. I'll be picking it up after work this evening.

Funny how a quilter can get so attached to a sewing machine.
