Using and maintaining this machine
Check the conditions alongside each answer. Foot attachment, shank type and adapter requirements are separate; one does not establish universal accessory fit.
Presser feet and adapters
Can the presser-foot holder be removed?
conditional
The presser-foot holder is removable by loosening its screw.
- Holder removal is shown for feet that use the included adapter; it does not establish low-shank geometry or generic screw-on-foot fit.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E2
When is the included presser-foot adapter used?
conditional
Some specialty feet, including the free-motion echo quilting foot “E” example, require the included adapter and small screw.
- This supports the included adapter only for the manual’s named use; it does not establish third-party adapters or universal fit.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E2
Bobbins and hook
Which bobbin class does it use?
conditional
Use plastic Class 15 (A style) bobbins.
- Brother says to use the supplied bobbins or bobbins of the same type.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E3
What bobbin material and size are required?
conditional
The specified bobbin is plastic and 11.5 mm (about 7/16 inch) high; replacements must be the same type.
- This does not establish interchangeability with metal, different-height or merely similar-looking Class 15 bobbins.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E3
How is the bobbin inserted?
conditional
Set the bobbin directly in the bobbin case with the thread unwinding to the left, then replace the bobbin cover.
- Follow the manual’s slit and cutter routing after placing the bobbin.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E4
Needles and threading
Which needle type and sizes should I use?
conditional
Use home sewing machine needles in sizes 65/9 through 100/16, chosen for the fabric and thread.
- The manual’s fabric/thread/needle table governs the choice; this range does not make every size suitable for every fabric.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E5
Which way does the needle face?
conditional
Insert the needle fully upward with its flat side facing the back, then tighten the clamp screw securely.
- Lock the machine controls before changing the needle as directed by the manual.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E6
Features and specifications
Does it have a free arm?
supported
The flat-bed attachment can be removed to expose a free arm for tubular items.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E7
Can the feed dogs be lowered?
conditional
Free-motion sewing mode lowers the feed dogs automatically.
- This proves the free-motion control behavior, not a separate manual drop-feed lever or every feed configuration.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E8
How fast does it sew?
supported
70 to 1,050 stitches per minute.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E9
What are the machine dimensions?
supported
Approximately 662 × 348 × 321 mm (W × H × D), or 26-1/16 × 13-11/16 × 12-5/8 inches.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E9
How much does it weigh?
supported
Approximately 17 kg (37.5 lb).
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E9
Care and ownership
How should the bobbin area be cleaned?
conditional
Remove lint and dust from the race, bobbin-thread sensor and surrounding area with the cleaning brush or a vacuum cleaner.
- Unplug the machine and follow the manual’s removal and reinstallation sequence.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E10
Should the owner oil the machine?
conditional
Do not oil the machine yourself; periodic oiling is unnecessary, and the bobbin case must not be oiled.
- If the handwheel becomes difficult to turn or unusual noise occurs, stop and contact an authorized Brother service source.
