Description
Description
This straight stitch needle plate (part # S1163) features a hinged slide plate design for easy bobbin access. The needle plate is the metal surface beneath the presser foot with a small hole through which the needle passes to form stitches. A straight stitch needle plate has a single small round hole designed specifically for straight stitching, providing better fabric support and preventing fabric from being pushed down into the bobbin area, resulting in improved stitch quality on lightweight and delicate fabrics.
Specifications:
- Part Number: S1163
- Type: Replacement
- Configuration: Straight stitch needle plate with hinged slide plate
- Needle Hole: Single round hole for straight stitching
- Slide Plate: Hinged design for easy bobbin access
- Function: Provides smooth sewing surface and supports fabric during straight stitching
Machine Compatibility:
Singer: 15-30
Kenmore: 148.860
Japanese Class 15: HA1 and other vintage Japanese class 15 machines
Performance & Benefits:
The straight stitch needle plate is ideal for sewing lightweight fabrics, delicate materials, and achieving professional-quality straight seams. The single small hole provides maximum fabric support, preventing puckering and fabric tunneling that can occur with wider zigzag needle plate holes. The hinged slide plate design allows quick and easy access to the bobbin area for bobbin changes and cleaning without removing the entire needle plate.
Installation Note:
Replace a damaged, worn, or scratched needle plate to restore smooth fabric feeding and prevent snagging. Ensure the needle plate is properly aligned and securely fastened to the machine bed. When using a straight stitch needle plate, use only straight stitch (center needle position) to avoid needle breakage.
