I use a dime for my brother machine, I always say it is the best and cheapest tool to get the plate off.

I have a babylock Grace. I HATE my round stubby screwdriver.
It has a hole in the middle, right where you need to be able to grip it. But if you grip an edge, you're off center & the blade slips out of the slot.
stupidest thing...

I have such a hard time with my Brother. The screws were in so tight I thought I would never get them to turn and with that little excuse of a screw driver it had it just wouldn't work. With RA in my hands I was at a loss as what to do. I finally used a dime and needle nosed pliers and got them loose. I am going to Low's and see what I can find there. You would think that the price they get for those machines they could at least provide a good screw driver.

While I don't have that machine I might be able to add a bit. I needed to clean out one of my machines byt standard screwdrivers did not fit. So, I put the machine in my car and went to the neares BIG Ace Hardware and they found the correct screwdrivers. Yes, plural as I needed two different sizes. They even carried the machine to and from my car. They were so nice it was wonderful.

Wow! Here I thought I was the only one that could not use that ridiculous little screwdriver. I agree it's useless. Curious to know how you were able to get in touch with anyone from BL. When I tried was told by my dealer that there wasn't a main office....that my machine could have been made in any of a number of countries. Tried to get it serviced by another quilt shop when I had a problem and was told I had to go back to the dealer I purchased my machine from. Anyone else heard that?
