My sewing machine was a gift. My foot and shank came off. Can they be reattached? The manuel was missing. Please help!
Thank You.

They should attach with a screw. If you have the make and model of your machine (there is a plate with the model and serial number on the machine) you should be able to download the manual.
This may be a simple job to someone who is familiar with working on sewing machines but can be very daunting to a beginner.
Try checking this YouTube video first but if no help then you probably need a tech to help you step by step.
There are several sewing machine forums that will help you get your machine operating properly but they will need more information about your machine.
Pictures are the best because they have to know what brand of machine you have as well as approximate age.
Please take pictures of full machine (is it portable or desk or treadle?).
Take pictures of any markings/numbers/tags as these help identify your machine. Write down any numbers/names.
It will be very difficult to provide help and a manual without this information.
You will have to join each site (free) but you will be able to ask for help with any problem in the future.

OMG, your foot and shank came off? That must be painful !!!! LOL, just kidding. Like Judy said, find the brand and model number plate on the machine, and then look it up online. There are sites that allow you to either download or order and manual for your particular machine.
To all! Thank you so much. I solved my own problem. Yes, they can and other can even be attached once the foot is removed from the shank, depending on the project and thickness of the material or fabric.
Be blessed and know that Jesus loves you.
Thanks for letting us know you have your machine up and running!
