A hardware store will more then likely have the screw. You'll need to know what size it is and the thread count but they are cheap and you can buy several different sizes and take back what doesn't fit. I found a the light bulb that fits in my featherweight and Singer 301 at Ace Hardware.

I just went to both ACE and Lowe's hardware stores.
They had screws that looked like they'd be the right size, but even though I took the needleplate with me they admitted they were guessing.
I bought 3 different size screws but none of them work. One is soooo close but just a teeny bit too skinny.
But I did find someone on ebay who'll sell me 2 screws for $12 and postage!!
I'd hate to pay that much though.
I guess I'll just keep sewing without the needleplate screwed down. It doesn't seem to affect anything.
