Singer Needle Plate (Ref. 68015372)

The complete needle plate is the metal plate on which the fabric rests while the needle pierces and forms the stitch on a domestic straight stitch sewing machine. This specific version has a dedicated slot for the thread cutter, accommodating the automatic thread cutting function after each seam without the need for separate scissors, thus speeding up the work.

When the needle hits the plate (bent needle, incorrect assembly, or thick fabric), it creates marks and burrs that snag the thread, cause skipped stitches, and can damage delicate fabrics. Replacing the plate is the reliable solution to restore a perfect finish and maintain compatibility with the cutter.
