In contrast to the straight-stitch plate—which has a narrower slot—the zigzag plate features a wider, rounded slot that accommodates the lateral movement of the needle, preventing it from hitting the plate during wide stitch applications. It also usually includes engraved measurement markings (inches or millimeters) for accurate seam alignment and guidance
