bkay, is that a typo? or did you mean 758? Do you mean the bobbin case cover is plastic?
Jackie's (tuckyquilter) throat plate in the picture is for the chainstitch. I got my first 626 so that I could chainstitch. I've picked up some other T&S's and accessories separately for the chain stitch stuff. I actually got some boxes just a couple of days ago. I recognized the needle plate as it has a more oval hole than the straight stitch plate. Another way to identify it is that the flip side has a lever doohickey (I'm sure that is the technical term for it LOL) on it.
