It bothers me when my fabric gets pulled into the feed dogs so I am thinking about getting a straight stitch plate.

Do you use one?

Does it fix the problem?

Thanks!

I just did a search on this and found some helpful comments.

Should have done that first!!!

yes. i really like the plate when I'm piecing triangles.

It definitely solves the problem of punching the fabric down into the feed dogs....but.... don't try to move the needle but a tiny bit. Guess how I know that?

Remember to change the stitch plate to one with a wide hole when you want to zigzag...Guess how I know that?

The newer Vikings come with the straight stitch plate and the machine won't allow you to change the width so yes I love it. My old brain forgets sometimes and I need a machine that's smarter than me. I love the plate for triangles as well.

Absolutely, I love them. Have them for every machine.

Would love to have one, but they were not an option on my vintage Berninas. (I've looked numerous times).

Cheers, K

I do all my piecing with the straight stitch plate...saves my sanity!
