A sewing machine throat plate is the metal plate beneath a sewing machine's needle and presser foot. It is typically held in place with one or more screws.

Sewing machine throat plates can look very different, depending on the type of sewing machine they are designed to fit.

Throat plates are usually marked with closely spaced, grooved lines to the right (and often to the left) of the plate's center. The grooves are guidelines for seam allowances of varying width.

You might find that the grooves are perfectly accurate for some types of sewing, but quilters use a narrow 1/4-inch seam allowance and shouldn't assume that the plate markings are accurate. Even if markings are accurate, it's best to test your seam allowance and create a slightly elevated buffer for fabrics to butt against as they pass through the machine.

Most quilters prefer to depend on 1/4-inch presser feet when they make quilts, but even specialized pressure feet must be tested for accuracy.

Throat plates should be removed when it's necessary to clean the area underneath, which tends to become filled with lint as thread and fabric pass through the machine.

Some sewing machine throat plates must be removed to access the machine's bobbin. These plates are generally made in two parts. The part that must be removed is easy to click open without loosening a screw.

Make sure the bobbin thread isn't stuck underneath the pieces you are sewing when you begin to sew a seam. Pull threads away from the bobbin area to keep the needle and feed dogs from pushing them under the throat plate, where they can cause jams (and sometimes a big swirled glob of thread on the backside of your patchwork).

Machine quilters bring the bobbin thread to the top of their quilt sandwich before beginning their quilt, for the same reason.

Chain piecing can help you avoid jams since patchwork units are sewn one after the other without breaking threads between pieces.

This is a genuine manufacturer sourced replacement throat plate. It is specially produced for Ridgid compound miter saw. Throat plate plays an important role by reduce splintering and chip-out on the cuts. It also prevents thin slices of wood from jamming in between the blade and the plate during a cut. This throat plate is sold individually. Please note, in order to use your compound miter saw, you must cut a slot through the zero clearance throat plate to allow for blade clearance. • Set your saw at 0° miter, turn saw on and allow the blade to reach full speed • Then carefully make a straight cut as far as it will go through the throat plate • Turn your saw off and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before raising the saw arm • Next, adjust the bevel angle to 45°, turn your saw on and allow the blade to reach full speed • Then carefully make another cut through the zero clearance throat plate • The slot in the throat plate will then be wide enough to allow the blade to pass through it at any angle from 0° to 45°
