Be careful switching from HP plate to one of the other plates (zigzag or straight stitch)
Photo shows the standard HP foot. I noticed the hole in that foot but really did not think much of it. Then when I switched from the HP plate to one of the other plates I noticed that the needle jumped to my right as the other plate was seated. Then I realized the reason for that hole. It is in case you touch the start button before removing the HP standard foot. In the photo you can see that the needle is lined up directly about the hole in the HP standard foot. Once I switched to a standard stitch foot (in this case satin foot F) and the standard foot holder then the needle will be aligned in the standard starting position.
