BERNINA 5mm Zigzag Needle Plate for the 1630 | #0062167002

Made for the BERNINA 1630, this is the needle plate with a 5mm zigzag opening -- BERNINA part #0062167002. It is the flat metal plate under the presser foot that frames the needle opening, and it is also called a stitch plate or throat plate. Fitment is model-specific: it is guaranteed for the BERNINA 1630 and is not a universal part, so confirm your machine before ordering.

The 5mm zigzag opening is the slot the needle passes through as it swings side to side. The plate seats over the bobbin area and gives fabric a smooth, flat surface to feed across the machine bed, with the feed dog rising through its slots to move the fabric along.

The BERNINA 1630 uses more than one needle plate, and this listing is specifically the 5mm zigzag plate -- the 1630's other plates are separate parts, so match your old part number to be sure this is the one you need.

A needle plate is a wear part. Over time the edge of the needle opening can pick up burrs, scratches, or nicks from needle strikes, and a marked plate no longer gives thread and fabric a smooth edge to travel over. A fresh plate brings back a clean, unmarked surface right at the needle opening.
