Requirements
The stitch plate and sleeve should be firmly in place.

Remove the stitch plate and loosen the screw (4/15)
which holds the arm sleeve in position. Fix the stitch

stitch plate and that the arm sleeve fits into where
the arm is connected to the body of the machine.

sleeve. Tighten the screw (4/15) and affix the stitch plate.
The stitch plate has two fixed supports on the body
and a third, comprising of a screw which is accessible
where the arrow indicates. Adjust the position by
means of this latter screw, so that the stitch plate is
satisfactorily supported.
