Description
Description
This is a genuine vintage Singer Embroidery/Darning Needle Plate (also known as a throat plate or feed dog cover plate) - original Singer Part #189631 (SIMANCO 189631) in excellent condition, not a reproduction. This flat metal plate is used to cover the feed dogs of the sewing machine to allow for free-motion sewing techniques.
Features and Compatibility
- Original Singer Part #189631 - Authentic SIMANCO quality (marked as Simanco 189631)
- Condition: Vintage, excellent condition
- Design: Elongated needle hole to accommodate the side-to-side movement of the needle during zigzag stitching
- Complete Assembly: Usually includes spring clip (Part #189625) to hold it in place
-
Compatibility: Designed for specific vintage Singer zigzag machines, including:
- Singer 206K
- Singer 306K
- Singer 319K
Function
When installed, this plate covers the machine's feed dogs, which typically pull the fabric forward in a controlled manner. This disengages the standard feeding mechanism, allowing the user to move the fabric freely in any direction. Perfect for:
- Free-motion embroidery - create custom designs and patterns
- Darning - repair holes and worn areas in fabric
- Monograms - personalize garments and linens
- Free-motion quilting - artistic quilting designs
How to Use the Darning/Embroidery Plate
Using this plate allows for creative free-motion stitching.
- Preparation: Remove your standard needle plate and attach the #189631 plate to the machine bed. Ensure the presser foot is also removed or a darning/embroidery foot is attached (a specific foot is needed for optimal use, although free-motion is possible without one)
-
Adjust Machine:
- Lower the feed dogs if your machine has a mechanism to do so (the plate covers them if they cannot be lowered)
- Set the stitch type to straight stitch or zigzag, depending on the desired effect
-
Perform Free Motion:
- Place the fabric in an embroidery hoop (this is essential for keeping tension and control, as the feed dogs are disengaged)
- Lower the presser bar lever (even if no foot is attached) to engage the upper thread tension
- Move the hoop with both hands to guide the fabric manually under the needle to "draw" or darn/embroider a design. The speed of the machine and the speed of your hand movement control the stitch length
Add authentic Singer SIMANCO quality to your vintage zigzag machine. This genuine darning/embroidery plate delivers the precision and durability you expect from original Singer accessories. Perfect for free-motion embroidery, darning, monogramming, and creative quilting projects.
