What is a thick face plate? I've never heard of one.
Sometimes when sewing over multi layers of fabric the needle will hit the hole in the face plate. The thick faceplate has a bigger needle hole and the plate is sturdier . All single stitch machines should come with this but of course you have to purchase it separately

I think you are talking about a needle plate, as a face plate is on the end opposite the handwheel. Faceplate images link.

P and J, my crinoline order has arrived, according to my email. Here is the backside and front of my class project, almost finished. I want to make an embellished quilt, although I never have! Still in planning stages, but want to use previous appliqued quilt as a guide.

I'll keep this in mind in the future. My Bernina 153 is over 20 years old; I know it's a matter of time before the motherboard goes, so have started thinking about what I'd like. Juki is one brand I am interested in.

I have finally figured out what to do for my granddaughter and I ordered the fabric. Many years ago I found a pattern on line called the Hummingbird. And Accuquilt came out with a die for it - called the Mill & Stars. When I saw the Tula Pink fabric with the birds and all different colors for the birds, it just said this is it! So I am rushing to finish the Exploding Heart quilt so I can make my new quilt. Hopefully I will be able to get it done by Christmas.
