So take the needle plate off your machine and lets bet rid of these sharp edges. You can sacrifice your Popsicle style finger nail file and crack it in half the long way. Now you can file the sharp edges off in the hole the best you can. Sand paper will work but it doesn’t hold up as well. Really all you need is to get the sharp burrs knocked down. At some point you will need to have the plate addressed but this should get you by until you can file and polish these out.
Good luck!
