That's too funny. I would keep this in my mind for future mishaps but mt fridge will not hold a magnet. One would think stainless would but NO. You have a very well decorateded Fridge. Maybe pins would do?

Funny story Lucy; we've all had little upsets with our embroidery. Sometimes it ends in a jammed machine that won't work!
Glad you came up with a good solution.

When we make the best of a bad outcome you will be rewarded after. Either with new knowledge or a lovely fridge magnet to remind us that we are not perfect. But it is great to be human.
