Which exact presser foot is documented?
conditional
The manual directly specifies the embroidery foot W+ with LED pointer for this machine and shows its attachment to the presser-foot bar.
This supports only the source-named W+ foot. It does not establish a shank class, third-party fit or universal compatibility.
Raise the needle, lock the controls, raise the foot lever, align the W+ foot notch to the large screw on the presser-foot bar, hold the foot in place, securely tighten its screw, reconnect its plug to the rear jack, then unlock the controls.
Use only embroidery feet made for this machine, install in the correct direction and firmly tighten the screw before operation.
With the controls locked, insert the needle with its flat side facing back, push it fully to the top of the needle stopper and securely tighten the clamp screw.
Raise the needle first, cover the plate hole and use a straight home-use embroidery needle.
Raise the needle with the Needle Position button, then turn the main power off and unplug the machine. Remove the needle and W+ foot, remove the embroidery unit if attached, slide off the needle-plate cover and remove the bobbin case. Use the brush or a vacuum to clear lint and dust from the race, sensor and surrounding area, then reinstall the case and cover in the documented alignment.
Do not oil the bobbin case. Do not use a scratched case; ensure the case and any removed needle plate are correctly secured before use.

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.
