Identity and compatibility badges

Identity families, physical traits, and OEM accessory groups stay separate. A group badge applies only to its named program and domains.

bobbin part numberX52800-150OEM roster group · compatibility use under reviewBaby Lock Accessory Group: Baby Lock Group B

Temporary compatibility containment

Group-derived compatibility review in progress

Compatibility under review: the 2025 Baby Lock roster identifies this as an embroidery-only machine and prints an OEM group/shank code, but SewGraph's earlier projection widened that row into ordinary sewing-accessory and presser-foot claims without preserving machine class, shank, section, or adapter conditions. Group-derived relationships are temporarily withheld; independently cited exact-model facts remain available.

Verified identity facts, cited machine traits, and independently cited exact-model relationships remain available. The held OEM roster group is shown as evidence only and currently asserts no public compatibility domain.
