Single Hole Stitchplate.Where have you been all my life?
I finally bought myself a single hole stitch plate and it is a miracle!
No more leaders/enders, no having the beginning of your fabric sucked in...Just drop your needle down and go, while piecing.
So glad I finally got one.

I have a single hole plate on my FW and one other machine. I love it. I have another machine that has the plate but it is not on the machine (yet). You are right about how nice they run the fabrics run through.

Does it make that much difference? I bought them for my old Pfaffs - but don't use them very often.
Do you have a setting that will remind ou that you are using a single hold stitch plate so one does not break needles ?

MY Singer had one but i had to always remember if i changed to zig zag or other stitch, and put the other plate on. That was frustrating but I got used to it. Now i have the plate that came with my Janome and use it for everything.

I doubt it was operator error - maybe gremlins??

Nice! I may need to see if they are available for my machines. What I have been doing to keep mine from gobbling up fabric is to use a small piece of lightweight paper underneath the points of triangles as I feed them through the machine, as if I were paper piecing. Works great, and very easy to simply pull off the paper afterward.

I always take a sticky note and place it on the machine on the way I make my stitch selections, to remember that I have the straight stitch plate on. Have I broken my needle by not remembering to take the straight stitch plate off first. Maybe, I am not telling.
