[Sewing] Juki straight stitch problem

[Rachel Lyra Hospodar]

this happens pretty frequently on my juki at home. i usually try to keep 
a couple throat plates around.  they are only a few bucks and it's 
really frustrating when you are trying to do something delicate and the 
throat plate looks like the strike plate for an anvil.
