FAQs & Troubleshooting |
Why is there an extra needle plate supplied with my machine?
The extra needle plate is the straight stitch needle plate.
The straight stitch needle plate and the straight stitch foot can only be used for straight stitches (middle needle position stitches).
Use the straight stitch needle plate and the straight stitch foot when sewing thin fabrics or when sewing small pieces which tend to sink into the hole of the regular needle plate during sewing.
The straight stitch foot is perfect to reduce puckering on lightweight fabrics.
The small opening on the foot provides support for the fabric as the needle travels through the fabric.
Always use the straight stitch foot in combination with the straight stitch needle plate.

Align the two screw holes on the needle plate with the two holes on the machine and screws in the needle plate.
When using the straight stitch needle plate, all straight stitches become middle needle position stitches.
You cannot change the needle position using the width display.
* After sewing, make sure to remove the straight stitch needle plate and the straight stitch foot, and reinstall the regular needle plate, the needle plate cover and the presser foot "J".
To prevent puckering on fine fabrics, use a fine needle, size 75/11, and a short stitch length.
For heavier fabrics, use a heavier needle, size 90/14, and longer stitches.
