Needle plate threaded hole


 

Does anyone know the purpose or use of the threaded hole I circled in green on the needle plate in the Drop Box Link?
The picture with the empty hole is my Singer 9W7. ?The other picture shows a slotted flathead screw inserted in the same hole on another machine. ?Was the purpose of the screw to prevent lint from accumulating inside the opening?

The hole is for screwing on a seam guide or other screw on attachments.

Thank you for your reply. Is the hole typically left open or empty if there is no attachment in place?

Does the seam guide attach with a thumb screw to the needle plate?
