I’m so happy to have found your video how to fix the slide plate. I thought I had broken it and was going to take my machine in to get repaired. I just fixed it myself following your instructions. Thank you so much!
you are very welcome and I'm glad you found the video too. did it yourself and good job!!
Thank you for showing this task in such great detail. I actually purchased another slide plate thinking something was wrong with it. It was me...I didn't know how to replace it.
Great job!
I'm glad you found my video! It was kind of you to comment. Thanks :)
I worked all day trying to get it on because it fell off when I dropped my machine. I was trying to put it on from the front instead of the back! I never would have figured it out if not for Andy's video. This was probably one of Singers worst design changes ever.
You just can't believe how helpful you have been to me and my good ole Singer!!! I have been frustrated about that @#%$# throat plate forever! Thank you!
I'm glad you found the video and that it helped. I remember very well trying to get the plate back on the first time. Nice of you to comment, Christy.
Gosh that was so easy, I spent ages trying to get the plate back on and nothing worked. Watched your video and presto, thank you so much
Welcome, and thanks for commenting. I have over 300 more videos, so stop by when you have time. Take Care Ireane.
So did I!
Lmao. I've been doing this backwards for ages and wondering why it wasn't working. Thank you!
I can't thank you enough for posting this. I've never seen a slide plate go in in reverse like this and I was pulling my hair out, reading my manual, watching other UA-cam videos and finally came across this, thank you!
Wow! I am real happy to hear that. I learned so much from people on UA-cam, so just trying to pay it forward. Thank You for letting me know.
It's so easy, once one sees what it hooks onto. I have a 401A that had a missing bobbin cover plate. Now that I've received a replacement, and watched your video, it looks like I need a replacement spring clip also. Half of its spring clip is AWOL. A replacement has been ordered. Your channel never lets me down whenever I need to know how to do something with a Singer. Thank you for all your videos!!
Very welcome, Kevin. I appreciate the kind comment and that you watch my channel. Happy sewing.
Thank you so very much for the time you invest in sharing your skills, by video. You are an inspiration to me. You have taught me how to repair and use my vintage Singer sewing machines. You saved me countless lost hours, because I was able to watch this video, before I replaced my bobbin plate.
Thank you for the kind comment, Theresa, and for watching my channel. Happy sewing.
You are an absolute Rock Star, not to mention an Officer & Gentleman. Thank you X 1000 for showing/describing the "tilt" required to remove/install the Sliding Plate. Most worthwhile 5 minutes on UA-cam for me in the past year, thank you again!!
This comment is one of the best I ever read. It's kind of you to take the time to acknowledge my efforts and it justifies the time and effort it took to make my nearly 600 videos. Good luck and take care.
Another comment offering sincere thanks for this video! My brain went on the fritz while cleaning my Singer 600 and ended up with the slide plate in my hand and no idea how to get it back on. Your explanation made it easy and quick to get it back on in the first try!
I'm glad you found the video!
This was so helpful! I got a vintage sewing machine and I was at a loss on how to put the plate back on. Thank you so much!!!
Glad you found the video, Keely. It's a weird setup if you have not seen it before, but now you know 😉 Thanks for the nice comment.
You life saver! I thought I'd broken my 411G plate tonight .. thankyou for your wonderful tutorials
Very welcome and thanks for the comment.
You have single handedly SAVED my grandmothers favorite sewing machine that she gave to me and i accidentally pried that plate off within weeks of having it, thank you so much!!!!
I'm glad you found the video. It took me a while to figure that one out. That's why I shared it. I'm happy you have your grandmother's machine, I believe family machines are the best. Happy sewing and thanks for the nice comment
Thank you! Same frustration as others- you made it easy. I appreciate your taking the time to do this tutorial.
Welcome, Lynne. I'm glad you found the video.
Good grief... so THIS is how it goes back on. Thank you Andy.
I know, right? who'd a thunk it? I always imagine the engineer of that part laughing at all of us noobs trying to get it back on. They should have put directions on the underside with arrows or something. I'm glad you found the video and thanks for commenting.
Hello Andy. I have fixed many things around hear with the help of UA-cam. Some of the information on UA-cam varies greatly in quality. I am giving your video an "A+". You didn't give us a lot of needles chatter, you just got right to it, explained it at a speed that I could take in using words that I could understand and images that were clear and close enough to be helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to fill a void for many of us! By the way, my cover plate is now back where it belongs.
Thanks very much, Wayne. One of the nicest comments I have received over the years. Always trying to improve my presentations. Hope to hear from you again in the future.
Great vid! It I’m pretty mechanically minded and it took me a minute to figure it out on an old 66. I bet this will come in handy for many years to come. Info like can be invaluable in a time when hardly anyone is passing down the craft to the next generation.
Thank you for the nice comment. I see there are over 35K views on the video now so I'm glad I made it. Once you figure it out it makes sense, but it was anti-intuitive to slide it on from behind. Thanks for watching my channel.
Thank you! I was having a neck of a time getting my plate back on! Appreciate your time!
Thanks for letting me know. It's why I made the video. Took me hours to figure out in the days before UA-cam.
Hope yu visit again.
OMG, Andy Tube what would we do without you! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I just got the plate back in on the 404 I just bought. Now on to your other videos.
Glad I could help and it's kind of you to comment. Congrats on getting that 404; you will love the power and reliability. Plenty of 404 videos ua-cam.com/play/PLsCOZgzzaiKIB4kvIHCfHYuyLMUp5A4UI.html
At some point, please consider speeding up you 404 motor: ua-cam.com/video/pzq4tv8qn94/v-deo.html
You are doing the good work, saving all us folks who thought we broke our machines and their slide plates!! Thank you!
thank you, I'm glad you found the video. I see it has 22K views now so don't feel alone. It's just not an intuitive way to put it on. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Take Care.
Thank you so much for this video. I accidentally removed this plate with a strong magnet. I have been tearing my hair out trying to get it back on. This video saved my grandmother's machine! Thank you so much!
I'm glad you found the video. And yes, if you've never installed this slide plate before it's really weird but you're all set now. Thanks for the nice comment
thank you so much.I took me less than a minute to replace mine!you are a life saver!
You are very welcome and glad you found my video.
For people who may have arrived here as I have, looking for a solution to a really stubborn slide plate, the answer was to tighten that screw at 4:15 to make sure the clip is really secured in place.
Thanks, Andy! I went ahead and cleaned my plate out as you suggested while I was at it and everything is moving smoothly!
Thanks for sharing ✨
Thank you so much for sharing this! I was at a total loss before this video
I'm glad you found the video. I was totally frustrated until I figured that out. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Happy sewing.
Thanks a lot, this saved me after I thought I broke my mums sewing machine.
I'm glad you found my video then, and regards to your Mum :)

I could have saved myself so much time if I'd searched for this a while ago. Thank you!!!
That may have made finding this video all the more rewarding. I'm glad you came across it and it's kind of you to comment. I see 22K viewers came here before you, so you are in good company. Take Care.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'll try it now. My movers must have made it come off, I really don't really know.
RECAP: IT WORKED SO EASY WITH THE SIMPLE MOVE FROM the BACK & TILT the plate! It slid right on! Yay!!
I'm glad you found the video the slide plates are tricky if you've never done them before thanks for your comment
Thank you, this was so helpful as my plate had come loose and I was able to fix it from your video.
Glad you found my video. Thanks for the comment and happy sewing.
This "wing" was put back on my Singer 401a backwards. I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what until now. Thank You!!!! It's been a source of frustration to me.
That must have been weird! 👀 I'm glad you found this video then and it's kind of you to comment. Happy sewing.
Thank you.... got tired of fighting with this bobbin door so looked up on UA-cam how to put the thing back on !!! YAY mission accomplished !!!
Welcome. It took me a while to get it figured out, so I'm glad you found the video. Happy sewing.
Thank you so much. I was beside myself trying to figure out how to put the darn thing back on a singer 2404. It was given to me to use in a class for beginning sewers. I like to check out all the machines donated before taking them to class. This helped me so much after much frustration!
You are welcome. I see this little video has 16K+ views now so don't feel alone. It a counter-intuitive method they used to put this on and off. I happy you found the video and it's nice of you to take time to leave a comment. Take Care.
I never would have figured this out on my own. I could’ve removed the slide plate, but replacing it? No way. Thank you so very much!
You are welcome. I'm glad you found the video. I just noticed it has 14,000+ views, so I was right when thinking "maybe someone else could use this info?"
Nice of you to comment.
Thank you so much 😩😩😩 this video saved my great grandmother's sewing machine.
Happy that you found the video and thanks for the comment. Happy sewing.
Thank you so much for this video, I've been scatching my head on this for months!
Certainly, glad you found the video. Thanks for the comment. Happy sewing.
Lord... you are heaven sent !! Thank You so much !!
Welcome. I'm glad you found the video. Happy sewing.
Yet again a very much appreciated video!!!!---- Exactly what I needed for the 403 I purchased today for $30!

Very welcome. I'm glad you did find it and thanks for commenting.
I am so thankful for your page I just got a singer 6212C got that plate taken off could not get it back on and I had no idea what I was doing wrong.
So thankful for your page. Your videos are very easy to follow thank you.
Very welcome, and thank you for the comment.Enjoy your 6212c; a nice running machine for clothing and crafting.
Thanks for saving the day. I couldn’t figure out how to install a replacement slide plate on my machine. I found your video and in seconds, I was back in business. Thank you!
very welcome and I'm glad you found the video piece of cake right? good job
Another brilliant video. Thank you again Mr Andy Tube and God Bless
Thank you. I hope your 500 restoration is going well. Please consider using this method on the motor: ua-cam.com/video/pzq4tv8qn94/v-deo.html
Another awesome video ! You are amazing. Love your videos, they helped me fix many problems, so easy to follow and understand. Thank you for taking the time to make these excellent videos !
I'm glad you find my videos helpful. That's my goal, so thanks for the comment.
Thank you !!! Got a new slide plate for a machine it was missing on and was flabbergasted at how to install.
Very welcome. It's an old video, but helpful. Now you know the trick! Thanks for commenting and happy sewing.
Was having trouble removing the bobbin plate on my machine but you were a big help. Thanks
Welcome and glad you found this video. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Happy sewing.
Thank you. I thought I broke my sewing machine. Great explanation. 👍🙏😁
Welcome, Jen. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Happy sewing
Wow!! Thank you so much! I have been trying very hard to put the plate back! You made my day!
And you made mine by taking time to comment! It's counter-intuitive the way it goes on. I'm glad you found the video. Don't be a stranger; I have 500+ more. Happy sewing.
Thank you so much!! I was changing the bobbin in my Singer 185K and slid the plate out too far. I found your video and had the plate back on in 10 seconds. Saved me a bunch of time. Now I can back to hemming my pants :)
Hey, you are welcome. Nice of you to comment. Keep on sewing!
Thank you sir, that plate was running me crazy, i watched you , and now it's on.
You are very welcome Tony. It was a real puzzler to me. It took me quite a while to figure it out so just had to share it the videos. Not my best production haha but it gets the point across. Thanks for the nice comment and for watching my channel
oh my god - I've had my vintage singer for 2 years, found a replacement plate but I could never get it to fit back on properly - until now!!! I always assumed there was something wrong with the plate. Thank you!
I'm glad you found my video! The design Singer did with this is not intuitive at all. It took me many attempts to figure this out. If you have other issues with your machine, I may have a playlist for working on it on my Playlist page.

Thank you so much! I have been struggling with this all day. You are the best.
@@xyz12345457 You're very welcome I'm so glad that you asked about it the design is not intuitive to us it's kind of like putting something on backwards but now you know thanks for the nice comment
Thank you for all your videos!!! They're very helpful and informative.
Welcome. I'm glad you visit my channel. Take Care.
THANK YOU!! I was having THE WORST time trying to get that plate back on and this video saved me so much time and aggravation

Oh Man U r genius thank u soooo much for this video. U ve no idea how ur video helped me to solve my plate issue I was so upset tht it wasn’t getting bac to its position. But ur video solved it just like tht. Thank U once again
you are very welcome happy you found my video nice of you to leave a message take care
I doubted this at the beginning because of the simplicity but man was it amazingly effective
Took me a while to figure that one out then it made total sense. Happy if it helped you and thanks for watching my channel
Thanks so much for posting this. So easy to do after watching video.
very welcome, Millie. It's not intuitive to put it on back to front, hah. Now you know the trick, and thanks for the nice comment. Take care.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Your video helped me with a 99k I recently got where the slide plate was not attached.
You're very welcome, John. Model 99K is such an impressive machine. I have all of my 20 repair videos for it in a playlist here if you find any more issues. ua-cam.com/play/PLsCOZgzzaiKIIUgkEujqHc9iNWN9NPW2Z.html
Happy sewing then, and take care.
Thank you so much! My plate got pulled off accidentally by a magnet, so I had no idea how it went back on.
You are welcome, Anna.( I will be wondering about that magnet, lol. )
Thank you for the comment.
My husband purchased an industrial sewing machine so he could repair tent tops. I want to use it for upholstery because my Singer didn't like the last project. I purchased a magnetic seam guide for the industrial machine. I decided to check if I could use it with my Singer, so I opened the cabinet but didn't pull the machine up as I was just checking to see if the bed of the machine was metal. The magnet on the guide is quite powerful and rotated and attached to the plate as apparently it is the only metal near where I had the guide. When I pulled the guide the plate came with it. I didn't know how it came off because I had the machine still in the cabinet. Your video helped because we were trying to slide it back on the opposite way.
I love this story! It was kind of you to share it and quiet my mind from thinking about magnets and slide plates. I don't sew and had no idea about magnetic seam guides. Thanks very much.
You made it look so easy! Thanks again for a great tutorial.
You would have covered your ears if you heard me the first time I tried putting it back on, hehe. I really rejoices when I figured it out. My wife is the one who suggested I make the video in the hope of saving other sewists some of their hair,. Thanks for the comment. Take care.
Excellent so helpful thanka
Thank you this is exactly what I needed to know this morning! Much appreciated!
Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you found the video. Now you know the tricky little secret. Happy sewing and thanks for watching
Thank you so much. My plate came off (I have no idea how I managed it), and I just couldn't get it back on. Thanks to your thoughtfulness, the plate is now back on my trusty 401.
you're welcome and I'm glad you found my video thanks for leaving a comment take care
Oh wow, I am so glad I found your videos.and I'm wishing I had known all this stuff when I was younger. I got so discouraged from sewing when I was younger because I felt like i kept breaking machines and I never knew how to fix what had happened and no one I asked knew how to help me. I recently decided that I am going to try again but i have to fix my machine first. I feel like i need to know how to maintain it as much as possible if I'm going to use it. Thank you for putting so much information in the video and for speaking clearly! It really is appreciated!!
Thank you, Tobi. I can't teach you to sew, but I'm your guy for keeping a vintage sewing machine running. I'm happy you found my channel and feel the videos are helpful. I have 500+ videos on my Playlist page, sorted by model numbers.ua-cam.com/channels/USPDsHaFtRoz1VA2U1xJ4w.htmlplaylists?view_as=public
If you have one of those models or are thinking about getting one of them, there is a lot of info. I know you can fix and maintain your machine, no worries. You'll be sewing along before you know it. Good Luck and take care.
@@andytubesewing1953 thank you sir, I inherited one of my grandmother's machine, it's a singer model 5825 without the manual. Fortunately, the other day I found the manual and a parts list with pictures online and was able to download them. I prefer paper but everything is online. I do have a question for you...can you tell me if there is a specific range of model numbers that are somewhat identical to my model? I don't want to have to shun all videos that have nothing to do with my model? Do you see what I'm asking?
@@tobismith7870 I consider your 5825, made in 1994, to be contemporary, and 20 to 50 years newer than the models I work on. It has many smaller plastic parts and came in 6, 8, 10 & 12 stitch pattern models, made in Brazil, Taiwan & a few in France. Kind of the new "Universal World-Wide" models. I don't know much about them. You see on the first page of your Instruction Manual they list several model numbers. The same with the parts diagram manual. In general, your model has an internal motor with a belt-drive, a vertical gear-driven shaft to the bottom pulleys, and a timing belt. A cam stack with a few pattern discs on it. There are a number of vintage machines with similar mechanics; 353, 347, 413, 416, 418, 457. They can have a similar vibrating bracket and feed system but with minor variances. They all have a tension unit that works the same way, metal discs to squeeze the needle thread to create thread tension, but may have slightly different tension parts on the assemblies. That's the thing with sewing machines, the principles are mostly the same. The needle bar goes up & down, the hook goes around & around ( or oscillates) and the two are timed together. They have a bobbin of thread in the hook system to wrap with the needle thread to make the lock-stitch. If they are zigzag models the needle bar has some type of driving arm, moved by the cam stack, that makes the needle swing back & forth (zigzag). If you get the basic principles of how the machine works you will be able to work (and sew) on it. So, some of the model numbers I mentioned could help you with your 5825, and a motor is a motor and foot pedal a foot pedal. I've had people with much older machines and almost new machines of many different brands contact me to say that a certain Singer video I made helped them fix their timing, or feed dog, or zigzag system.
@@andytubesewing1953 well, sir, I just want yo say thank you so much for all that information, so helpful and add me to that list of people you talked about that you've helped. Just with this particular video, learning how to take that plate off made a world of difference. After being able to take that off and knowing a few basics I was able to find out what was wrong with my machine. You see, I couldn't figure out why the bobbin thread wasn't catching and I was having a hard time believing it was the timing. When I finally got the plate off, it helped me to figure out how some other things were supposed to come off. After seeing and getting some understanding, I noticed that the race had some lint that was stuck to it in one small area on the inside. I had to scrape that off to see if that's what the problem was. I was a lil surprised that that tiny mess made the difference. It was pushing the black bobbin case upward and preventing the upper thread from going where it needed to go. That's it. I'm just really glad that that's all it was. I'm also happy to know I can trust my gut with this. Hope you stay well and safe in this crazy world. Your knowledge and presence is much needed.
@@tobismith7870 Well done, Tobi. Happy sewing.
Thank you so much! I was putting my 328k back together and...couldn't get the plate back on. You saved the day!
It's not intuitive that it goes on backwards so to speak so I'm glad that you found the video and I feel like a hero today haha
Very helpful. Thank you. I figured there was a trick to this.
Welcome, Dennis. Glad you found it 👍
Finally. It makes so much sense. Thank you.
It was very counterintuitive to me at first, but I agree it does make sense. Thanks for the comment, and for watching my channel.
Thank you so much for this video! Really helpful!
Gald you found the video and thanks for taking the time to comment. Happy sewing.
I've spent an hour trying to get that thing back on, thanks for this video. The bobbin mechanism had jammed, I got the jam fixed but put the top part of the bobbin by the sewing needle back on and was trying to put it back with that on, now I see that was impossible, and it's not as easy as it is a 1950's Singer I can't ge tto the spring like you can on this model. Many thanks for this video I know what to do now.
Thanks for letting me know the video helped. I'm glad you found it.
@@andytubesewing1953 After working on for some time yesterday getting nowhere not knowing what I was doing I fixed it this afternoon easily after watching your video.
Well Done! Thanks.
This was extremely helpful thank you!!
I'm glad you found the video. Thanks for the nice comment. Happy sewing.
Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. I have a singer model 7105, with this type of slide plate. I was able to get it off, but I couldn’t figure out how to get it back on, I didn’t want to break something.
Oh I'm glad you found the video. It is kind of weird if you've never done it before. Thanks for the nice comment. Happy sewing!
Thank you so much or this video! I was trying everything and pretty much coming to the conclusion that you have done, b
ut I needed confirmation that I was doing it right. 401a is happy again!
You are welcome, Suzann. A happy 401a is a wonderful thing.
Thank you so very much! I'm sewing again!!!

Thank you so much for this video! I pulled the plate out by mistake and could not figure out how to put it back on 😶
Very welcome, for sure. When I did that years ago it took me 3 days to figure it out. I see the video has 35K views now, so we are not alone, hehe.
Thank you so much for showing how to do this,

just put a motor on the singer 66 my uncle gave me and couldn't figure out how to get the plate back on 😐
Great! Glad you found this, and congrats on the new motor too! Some old Model 66 seem like they will sew forever.
Thank u .My machines plate also came out .I cant put it back .Now i will try this method.
This method will work for you. Thanks for your comment. Good Luck.
I struggled for hours trying to fit the plate back ...absolute nightmare! Eventually I managed by slipping a pin under each end of the spring clip, to keep it open enough to slip it into place.
There was some colourful and creative language used, I tell ya!
That sounds a lot like my first experience trying to figure that thing out. My wife was so happy he said you should make a little video haha. Congratulations on your success and thanks for watching my channel
Thanks so much ! I needed that.
You are welcome, Becky. I'm glad you found my channel. Stop by anytime.
Thankyou for this!! I couldn’t get mine back on and thought I broke it
I'm glad you found the video and thanks for the comment.
Thank you so much ‼️‼️
It seems weird to put it on from the back, doesn't it? Now you know and thanks for the nice comment. Take care.
Hi Andy, I have to adjust the bobbin placement with the black spring as you showed me more than usual. I am working with salvaged jeans and going over folded heavy seams when it happens. I think I also got some needle-plate hits but I don’t know if those were already there. It makes a bit of a racket when the bobbin thread gets all caught and the wheel locks! Maybe I should use longer stitches? Any advice?
Thanks for the easy fix.
You bet! Glad you found it.
The tailor who was my 404s previous owner, I think she broke off the crimped tip on one side of the bobbin plate so it could be removed more easily. I can also see a lot of small gouges from someone lifting the soft metal horizontal edge with the small flat screw driver I found in the drawer.
Thanks for sharing,i been fighting with it for a hour getting the throat plate back on I have a singer 9113,i used tweezers
Welcome, Lena, and it is nice to know this method works on a model like the 9113 which I believe is a free-arm machine. So thank you for sharing that.
Thank-you!
I'm glad you found the video, Tara, and appreciate your commenting.
Thank you for sharing this. I managed to get the plate off but couldn't get it back on lol
I'm glad you found this video. We've all been there and it's very frustrating. Now you know 😀
Wow thank you so much I spent 25 minutes then I'm like it's time to hit you tube..
So glad you found the video, Then. Thanks for commenting.
@@andytubesewing1953 I'm like there has to be a trick into putting it back, I tried to take off the screw, bend it a little the metal, after all that I went to your video, and silly me.
Thanks again! Great job there! 👌
