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
Native snap-on feet. To change an ordinary presser foot, raise the needle and foot, press the release lever, place the replacement foot's pin below the holder slot, and lower the lifter until the foot snaps into place.
This proves the OEM's ordinary snap-on procedure, not universal or cross-brand foot fit.
Route thread from the rear through the guide and clockwise around the winding tension disc, thread the bobbin inside-to-outside, seat it on the spindle, move the spindle right to wind, then move it left and remove the full bobbin.
The procedure does not establish hook type or cross-brand substitution.
With the needle fully raised and power off, insert the bobbin with thread running counterclockwise, route the thread under the guide and into the notch, leave about 15 cm, and replace the cover.
The direction and path do not establish hook type or substitution.
Use SINGER Class 15 transparent bobbins of the type delivered with the machine.
The OEM instruction is explicitly limited to transparent Class 15 bobbins of the supplied type; no opaque, metal, dimensional, or cross-brand equivalent is inferred.
Clean often: turn the machine off, remove the foot, bobbin cover, and bobbin, brush the bobbin area, and clean accumulated lint beneath the needle plate with the brush or a dry cloth; do not blow air into the bobbin-case area.
Raise the needle before disassembly and restore the needle plate, bobbin, cover, and foot in the manual's documented order.
Which needle system and sizes apply?: The OEM recommends needle system 130/705H and lists sizes 70–80 (9–11) through 110 (18), selected according to fabric weight and thread.
How do ordinary presser feet attach?: To change an ordinary presser foot, raise the needle and foot, press the release lever, place the replacement foot's pin below the holder slot, and lower the lifter until the foot snaps into place.

Which way does the needle face?: Push the needle upward until it goes no farther with the flat side facing away from the operator, then tighten the clamp screw.
Change the Needle
Push the new needle upwards into the needle clamp with the flat side away from you.
When the needle will go up no further, tighten the screw securely.
What shank or holder wording does the OEM use?: The manual names a presser foot holder, holder screw, and presser foot bar; it says the holder screw is loosened to remove the holder from the bar.
