That screw attaches it to the presser foot lift handle. Other than that, I don't think it's attached anywhere except it has to stay within it's guides so it can lift and drop. I've turned several as they tend to get out of alignment over time and disuse. Let us know how the new bulb works. I might be interested to try that. Hope your tension knob isn't loose. that can be much more trying to fix. I generally use several layers of masking tape as a seam guide. I make two cuts, about a sixteenth of an inch deep and about an inch and a half apart in the roll and then peel that section out and stick it to the machine bed. Good luck and enjoy the FW.

Then put the edge of the tape over and under the front of the plate and screw the plate back down. That will hold the tape on better. You can also get 1/4" masking tape at quilt stores, JoAnns, Hancocks, etc, that might stick a little better. <br /><br />You CAN use a marker, but I wouldn't...just cuz. NO reason...it is just because I (personally) wouldn't want to take the chance that I might mark something that I might not be able to remove.Sherri https://www.blogger.com/profile/04928191196045775058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-25765079371872794002013-07-06T20:32:29.148-04:002013-07-06T20:32:29.148-04:00Thanks, Sherri, for all of your help!!

Now I’m considering using an extra-fine point Sharpie or paint pen on the ¼” groove on my stitch plate so I can see it better. It’s not the original stitch plate and it wasn’t expensive... What do you think?Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816121512164080677.post-46975728543734489122013-07-06T19:32:21.218-04:002013-07-06T19:32:21.218-04:00The peacock quilt she talks about is the "My ...The peacock quilt she talks about is the "My Tweets" pattern. I am almost halfway done with the borders for mine. <br />You are using the EXACT tape I was thinking of when I suggested you try using tape for a guide.
