Ok. Someone didnt post the warning...

So far, I've never used mine either. My SMs have not decided to smash even
the most fragile fabric down in the zig-zag slot. It could happen but as
yet, no problem. Polly

My solution is I never use the bitty hole needle plate. I switch back and
forth from straight stitch to zig zag so much especially when I'm making
Linus blankets, I decided it was safer not to use the plate with the
little bitty hole! After I broke a couple needles, I never used it again!

Donna:
Actually, I use that plate very seldom.
I do like it if working with special
threads for extended periods. That's
all. Pfilomina Pfaff is very well
mannered and the slot plate works well
for me.
