Clearance Plate
The Clearance Plate is used to aid in removing or replacing
needles. It can also be used to help stitch over thick seams, such
as when hemming jeans. The presser foot tilts as it sews on and
off thick seams areas. The Clearance Plate keeps the presser
foot level when stitching over thick areas, preventing the needle
from hitting the opening in the presser foot.
Needle Replacement (1):
- Use the hole in the Clearance Plate to hold the old needle while
it is still on the machine. Slide the Clearance Plate up onto the
needle, starting at the point of the needle and moving the tool
upward on the needle.
- While holding the old needle with the Clearance Plate, loosen
the needle clamp screw. Remove the needle.
- Insert the new needle into the hole in the Clearance Plate.
- While holding the Clearance Plate, guide the needle into the
needle slot, making sure that the flat side of the needle is toward
the back of the machine.
- Tighten with a screwdriver to secure, and then remove the
Clearance Plate from the needle.
Sewing Denim Seams (2):
- Prepare the jeans hem and pin it in place.
- Begin stitching the hem, but stop sewing when the presser foot
starts to climb, but before the needle reaches the seam.
- Turn the hand wheel toward you to lower the needle into the
fabric. Raise the presser foot using the presser foot lifter.
- From the back side of the presser foot, insert the Clearance
Plate up to the seam allowance (you will notice that the presser
foot is now level). Lower the presser foot.
- Begin sewing slowly, and continue until you have stitched across
the seam.
- After you have sewn across the seam, remove the Clearance
Plate, then continue sewing.
