This is the coolest thing, I am ordering one right now. What a difference this will make in trying to unscrew that darn plate screw. Thank you so much for the link.

Here is the site http://www.morkoproducts.com/throat-...crewdriver.php
It is a necessary tool for me! I have the 6600 and I only replace the front screw and have never had a problem.
QUOTE=onthemove;5705562]Hello fellow quilters. I have been having issues with some of my machines lately and have doing maintenance on them. Over a year ago there was a thread here that someone posted flat screw drivers for the needle plate that would make it easy to unscrew under the head of the machine and the foot as well. I never saved it thinking it was cool but just another expense. Now I realize that sometimes I just HAVE to keep collecting these toys because ultimately I am going to need them. I cannot find it in the archives. Does ANYONE have these tools or remember the information??????? Thanks for your help.

Snipforfun, thank you for the web site for the throat plate screwdriver. I have one, love it and have wanted to get another one to put away for when I lose the first one. Cant believe I haven't lost it yet. Sure works great.

I found at the local hardware store, a screwdriver that is bent to a 90 degree angle on each end, one being flat the other Phillips head. The bent part is only about and inch or so long and is PERFECT for the needle plate. I think I paid just a couple of dollars for it.

What I've started doing is to finger tighten the screws and then use my seam ripper to push the last couple turns of the screws. Then I can get the plates off without much trouble.
