I LOVE this idea! Thanks!!!

It's not the machine that does this. If we just take the time to make sure that we hold onto the threads, make sure the first stitch goes into the fabric, use the headers and enders, all of these ideas will keep the fabric from going into the hole.

i always hold the upper and bottom thread behind the needle when i start sewing so that this doesn't happen. i find when i do this that i rarely have a problem with the thread going down into the needle plate as i have some tension on the thread to hold it above it.
