[Needle Position - Stitch Placement] is [OFF]
Using the Straight Stitch Needle Plate and
the Straight Stitch Foot
The straight stitch needle plate and the straight stitch foot can
only be used for straight stitches (middle needle position
stitches). Use the straight stitch needle plate and the straight
stitch foot when sewing thin fabrics or when sewing small
pieces which tend to sink into the hole of the regular needle
plate during sewing. The straight stitch foot is perfect to
reduce puckering on lightweight fabrics. The small opening
on the foot provides support for the fabric as the needle travels
through the fabric.
