Bernina Straight Plate?130?170?#033339.71.03 — ideal for your listing at Nashua Sew & Vac.

Description

• Genuine OEM straight-stitch/throat plate for select Bernina sewing machines (models 130–170).

• straight-stitch and embroidery use, providing a smaller needle-opening for better stitch formation.

• Colour-coded orange (in some references) to differentiate from standard zig-zag plates.

Key Features

• 5.5 mm stitch width specification, making it ideal for straight?only stitching tasks.

• Improved material feed and stabilization when used with compatible straight?stitch presser feet (e.g., feet #8, #26, #53, #62, #64) in straight-stitch mode.

• Optimised for clean results in straight stitching, cut-work or crystal-work when applicable.

Compatibility

Fits these Bernina models in the target range:

• Models: Activa 130, Activa 131, Activa 140

• Virtuosa 153, Virtuosa 160, Virtuosa 163

• Artista 165, Artista 170

• Listing also notes “130-170” generically, so it's important to verify exact serial/variant before sale.

Service & Listing Notes

• When listing, emphasise: “For straight?stitching/embroidery use – smaller needle opening, straight tasks only (not zig-zag)”.

• Recommend pairing with a dedicated straight?stitch presser foot (1.4 mm stitch width) for best performance.

• Clarify in the catalogue: “Fits Activa/ Virtuosa/ Artista lines 130–170 series” and advise customers to confirm their model number.

• For the “Nashua Sew & Vac” service centre: Suggest cleaning the feed-dog plate area, reinstall with correct torque, verify that the new plate sits flush and the needle passes smoothly without wobble.
