if you get a index card and tape it to the plate area with painters tape, you know that lovely shade of blue . hand bring up your bobbin thread, and it also makes your whole on the index card, you should be ready to go.So just remember you are the stitch regulator.have fun , BUT practice on a scrap-quilt sandwich first, put the batting in too that you will be using.Sandra

There is a website where you can buy the feed dog plate covers for these machines. It does not harm the machine as it screws into a hole already there (at least on mine it does)
Unfortunately I do not remember the site name so you will have to google for it.
Sorry I can't be of more help. Perhaps someone else reading this will know and post for us with the name of the company.
