Cue panic and my husband trying to give me cookies while I ranted and cried. I found this guide that seems to help, its sort of like my machine. I tried and tried to put it together but to no avail, it refuses to let me fit it.
There is a sewing place in town called "Sew Simple" that will also fix my poor Kenmore for 55$. He also oils and checks all the parts, so I may go this option. (but it was broken before I took it apart...so if he puts it together, will it work??)
Then I found a replacement part on Ebay--they only have one listed on their entire site, and I bought it because I couldn't find any more listed and I wanted to make sure I had what I needed.
Lessons learned:
- Things break. Its okay, and I really need to learn to deal with it. (Poor Mr. Adventure)
- I'll get it fixed its just going to take awhile.
- I really have a problem with patience. I'm so impatient.
- It's not the end of the world? Yes it is!!!
Has your sewing machine ever broke? Please, if you know any guides to fixing this problem, leave me a comment. I'll love you forever.

Oh my goodness- all those tiny pieces! It stinks that your machine messed up.
Mine hasn't been broken (yet :), but it's definitely due a tune-up. I remember freaking out on the very first day I bought my machine. I had never before sewn- I had watched videos and read books and watched the salesman start up the machine, but that's it. I was doing all of this practicing and feeling pretty impressed with myself, but then the fabric got sucked down under the needle plate. I remember thinking: Day 1 and I've already broken my machine! Anyway, I learned that day how to take off my needle plate, so I suppose it was a good learning experience. :)
