Needle plate with seam width markings engraved in the plate (i.e. 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", etc.)
The earlier Featherweights did not have seam guide markings on the needle plate. This replacement needle plate has the engraved markings to make sewing an accurate seam easier. This is especially helpful if you utilize your Featherweight for sewing other than quilting (for quilting I prefer the 1/4" piecing foot with blade). So much nicer than gooey tape on the bed of your beloved machine!
