Janome Straight Stitch Needle Plate & Foot, Fits MC11000, 3160 & Others Used for Straight Stitching in the center position. The straight stitch plate helps provide a more stable base. The smaller opening is great for working on fine fabrics that are prone to getting pulled into the feed dogs. The straight stitch foot is often used on very fine or very heavy fabrics. This foot is flat on the underside to provide an even pressure against the feed dogs and it has a rounded needle hole which offers the benefit of more support around the needle to prevent skipped stitches and puckering. Use with Janome models: MC11000 Special Edition, MC11000, 3160QDC, 4120QDC & Elna Models: 9500 & 9600.
