Product details

This list comes from the distributor's listing for this part. If your model is not named, do not assume it fits — check the part you are removing against the specification below, or ask us with your model number before ordering.
What this part does
The slide plate is the flat metal cover beside the needle plate on a front-loading machine that slides open to access the bobbin area. On older Singer and industrial machines it is a plain sprung steel plate; it goes missing or bends.
