I have been piecing lots of small things and HSTs for a scrappy quilt in between everything else. My fabric was continually "eaten" even after I tried to remember to grab the threads or use a leader. Decided to swap out the throat plate for the single hole and guess what? It works BEAUTIFULLY!

Try it and see if it improves your FMQing.
Good advise.
If you already have the plate, set it up with the straight stitch plate and give it a try. Then you'll know which you like better.
