201 graduated needle plate
I replaced the unmarked needle plate with a graduated needle plate on my 1954 Singer 201-2 with no problem. When I tried to install graduated needle plates on my 1950 Singer 201-2 and 1948 201K, it felt like the feed dogs were trying to "push" the needle plate. I even tried taking the graduated plate off the 1954 to see if that plate was thinner or cut differently, but it still didn't work on the 1950 and 1948 machines. Does anyone have any idea why there would be a difference? Could the feed dogs be higher on those machines or something? I like the idea of having the graduated plate for sewing, but won't use one if there's a risk of damaging the machine. Thank you in advance for any ideas.
