I learned something new yesterday. 

I don't use the holster plate very often but I've come to the realization there is enough room between the plate and the arm to easily fit a finger.

Don't ask how I learned this. 

 

 

 

I'm thankful I was moving the wheel by hand at the time.

Zowie. Maybe epoxy a small guard plate over it.

I used a piece of hard plastic and some electrical tape for the time being.

I was working on a bridle, had my finger curled under and didn't realize my finger fit in there.

Is that the Hennigan holster plate with a feed dog?  How is that working for you, compared to the Cobra holster plate?

Nope, it's the Cobra holster plate without the feed dog. The presser foot set is from Hennigan though. I primarily use a #23 needle and the narrow presser foot has just enough room so I don't use the Cobra presser foot unless I go to a larger needle.
