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?
supported
Yes. Remove its thumb screw with a screwdriver. The holder attaches to the threaded hole in the presser bar.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E1
Which direct screw-on foot does the manual describe?
conditional
The specified P embroidery foot attaches to the presser bar after the holder is removed.
- Place its pin on the needle clamp and tighten the thumb screw firmly. The cited basting setup uses stitch 19, lowered feed dogs and tension 1–3; restore AUTO tension and raise the feed dogs afterward. This does not establish universal low-shank screw-on-foot fit.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E2
Can presser-foot pressure be adjusted?
conditional
Yes. The pressure lever has settings 1, 2 and 3.
- Use 3 for regular sewing and 2 for applique, cutwork, drawn work and basting. Use 1 for chiffon, lace, organdy and other fine fabrics; velour and very stretchy knits may also need 1.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E3
Does it have extra presser-foot lift?
conditional
The foot can be raised about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) above its normal raised position.
- This is additional lift above the normal raised position, not total clearance or a shank classification.

Which bobbin part number does the manual list?
conditional
102869107, listed as a pack of 10 bobbins.

- Follow the illustrated lever directions. When raising the feed dogs, also turn the handwheel toward you. Keep the feed dogs up for normal sewing.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E3
Care and ownership
How should the hook race and feed dogs be cleaned?
conditional
Remove the bobbin holder as directed. Clean the hook with a soft dry cloth and the feed dogs and hook race with the lint brush.
- Raise the needle and unplug first. Slide the hook-cover release to the right, remove the cover and bobbin, then brush out dust and lint. Remove the left-hand needle-plate set screw with the supplied screwdriver and remove the needle plate before lifting out the bobbin holder. Clean the center of the hook race with a dry cloth; the manual also permits a vacuum cleaner. Do not dismantle beyond the illustrated procedure.
Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E6
How is the bobbin holder positioned after cleaning?
conditional
Insert it with its knob next to the stopper in the hook race.
- Follow the complete reassembly sequence: insert the bobbin, attach the needle plate with its screw, and ensure the needle and presser foot are attached.
