Preparations
Changing to Straight Stitch Needle
Plate
The Straight Stitch Needle Plate is recommended for
embroidery. It may also be used for certain techniques
in sewing mode, such as quilt piecing. The smaller hole
in the Straight Stitch Needle Plate supports the fabric
closer to the needle and helps prevent the fabric from
being pulled down into the bobbin area, especially at
the beginning and/or end of a seam.
1. Remove the presser foot. Open the bobbin cover by
pushing the release button (A) to the right. Remove
the cover.
2. Make sure that the feed teeth are lowered. Place the
screwdriver under the needle plate as shown and
gently turn the screwdriver to pop off the needle
plate.
Note: Lower the feed teeth by touching the presser foot up
and extra lift button.
Note: When changing the needle plate, clean any lint and
threads from the bobbin area.
3. With feed teeth lowered, position the Straight Stitch
Needle Plate so that it fits into the notches at the
back. Press the Straight Stitch Needle Plate down (B)
until it clicks into place. Replace the bobbin cover.
To prevent needle breakage or damage to the plate,
remove any accessory that is not compatible with the
Straight Stitch Needle Plate, such as twin needle.
