Its not a big space but was just big enough for that snap part to fall in! And yes he's still alive! He's my baby and he's NOT a teen so still sweet! lol....

My thought is also to try something magnetized to attract it. The area looks too small to be able to grab get in there and try to grab with tweezers. Wish I could help you ... I love trying to solve puzzles. Good luck with that.

What a bummer! I have a 20+ year old Kenmore and had a problem with thread that was totally wound up in the bobbin which I could not get loose without fear of doing damage to the machine. I ended up calling a local sewing machine shop and explained the problem (somewhere I had had the machine serviced not too long before) and when I told him the make and model he was able to walk me through how to take the bobbin casing apart over the phone and, voila, it solved the problem! Can't hurt to try.

Awww I bet your little guy is feeling really bad.... (((HUGS)))
I am glad to hear that your machine still is working :D:D:D
My twin grands were 3 when they decided to sew some marshmallows while mama was in the bathroom :roll: The cord to the machine was put up, but one cranked the wheel, while the other "sewed the soft, gooey marshmallows." It was a good thing it was a $20 garage sale machine, as there was no cleaning it out :roll: :lol::lol:
