Needle Plate for Singer (Ref. 68002665)

The needle plate is the metal plate on which the fabric rests while the needle pierces and forms the stitch on domestic embroidery and sewing machines. It is through the central hole and the side grooves that the thread is guided and the fabric advances evenly, ensuring precise and well-formed stitches in every project.

When the needle hits the plate (due to the use of bent needles, deviations in the embroidery hoop or excessively thick fabric), marks, scratches, and burrs are created that snag the thread, cause constant breakages, skipped stitches, and can even pull finer fabrics into the machine. Replacing the damaged plate is the reliable solution to restore stitch perfection and protect the equipment.
