Why didn't I think of this? While watching a video on working with silky fabrics I discovered this tip. Place a piece of the frosty looking tape over the needle opening slot. Haven't tried it yet but the video showed it being used in the video.

Gale I have a bright pink clip that I put on the extra thread holder on my machine when I have the single hole plate in and believe me it has helped a lot. I take it off when I remove the plate and attach it to the plate when not in use. Never lose it that way.

Cut out a second quilt which can be a simple 4 patch and use that as a leader and an ender. Never stop sewing with nothing under the needle. I started making two quilts at a time years ago and it is so nice. Read Bonnie Hunter on the Internet about leaders and enders.

And I do put a sticky note on my machine when I put the single hole plate on..... but I still manage to forget it's there & break a needle or two. I try to remove the plate & put the regular one on every time I'm finished sewing for the day.
