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
How do ordinary presser feet attach?
conditional
Lower the presser-foot shank until its cut-out is directly above the foot pin; the ordinary foot engages automatically and releases when the lever is raised.
This proves the manual's ordinary-foot attachment procedure, not universal or cross-brand foot fit.
Place the spool and holder, route thread through the guide and clockwise around the winder tension discs, thread and mount the bobbin, move the spindle right to wind, then move it left and remove the full bobbin.
The procedure does not by itself establish bobbin class, dimensions, material, or substitution.
With power off, the needle fully raised, and the presser foot raised, insert the bobbin with thread running counterclockwise, route it through slit A and notch B, leave about 15 cm, and replace the cover plate.
The cited direction and path do not establish hook class or cross-brand bobbin fit.
Choose SINGER 2020 sharp needles for natural woven fabrics, SINGER 2045 semi-ball-point needles for knits and stretch fabrics, or SINGER 2032 leather needles for leather, vinyl, and upholstery, within the sizes in the OEM table.
The three source-local choices remain material- and size-dependent; no single universal needle type or size range is inferred.

How do ordinary presser feet attach?: Lower the presser-foot shank until its cut-out is directly above the foot pin; the ordinary foot engages automatically and releases when the lever is raised.
What shank or holder wording does the OEM use?: The manual calls the removable part a presser foot shank and shows it screwed directly to the presser bar.
Attaching the Presser Foot Shank
Line up the opening in the shank with the opening on the presser bar and then tighten the screw.
The presser foot (f) will engage automatically.
