Under some conditions, based on the type of fabric, stabilizer, or thread being used, there may be some looping in the upper thread. In this case, attach the included embroidery needle plate cover to the needle plate. Attach the cover by inserting the two projections on the underside of the cover into the notches on the needle plate as shown below.

(1) Groove (2) Projection (3) Notch

 

To remove the embroidery needle plate cover, place your fingernail in the groove and lift the plate out.
