If you want to remove the needle plate cover to access the bobbin area, follow these simple steps. Press the needle position button once or twice. This will raise the needle to avoid getting in the way and ensure safety. Turn off your sewing machine. Make sure you unplug the power cord from the power supply. Now, raise the presser foot to remove the needle, presser foot, and its holder. Then, remove the flat bed attachment. In case you also have the embroidery unit attached, remove it as well. At this point, you need to slide the bobbin cover latch to the right. Then, remove the bobbin cover. Place your right index finger near the bottom of the needle plate cover latch. Insert the tip of your left index finger into the notch at the back of the needle plate cover. Then, place your left thumb at the front of the needle plate cover. Remove the cover by sliding it towards you.
