Before choosing a part
Start with these documented details. Read the requirements with each answer before choosing a needle, bobbin or foot.
Low shank (the OEM group/shank chart prints G/L).
Requirements and sources →Align the foot pin with the holder notch; lower the lever until it snaps in.
Requirements and sources →Class 15 type: use the supplied plastic X52800-120 bobbin or the same type.
Requirements and sources →Home sewing needles 65/9–100/16, selected by the fabric/thread matrix; embroidery 75/11. The threader has a separate 75/11–100/16 limit and special-needle restrictions.
Requirements and sources →Not yet confirmed here: Manufacturer accessory group, Foot interface / generation, Bobbin diameter, Hook type, Needle system / designation, Maximum stitch / zigzag width, Feed system, Bobbin loading direction. What is still to confirm →
Other names, regional versions and related models have not been confirmed here. A shared manual, product line or accessory group does not identify the machine's family.
Read the complete original answer: preserve OEM references, plastic/Class 15/11.5 mm wording, loading direction, green-marked versus unmarked case, thread-weight and tension-adjustment differences. The separate Group G item does not establish a universal substitute.
Documents and page references →Keep all fabric/thread pairings, embroidery/threader size limits and the full twin-needle setup and turning restrictions. Special-use wing-needle wording is not a universal needle-system designation.
Documents and page references →Retain the exact specification edition and original conditions. The embroidery field is not a sewing stitch-width limit or a promise that an unlisted hoop fits.
Documents and page references →Keep the original units, measurements and edition conditions. These specifications do not establish safe operating settings, packing dimensions or accessory fit.
Documents and page references →Read the complete accepted foot answer and all catalog, adapter and optional-foot conditions; a snap-in procedure does not authorize an arbitrary retail foot or attachment.
Documents and page references →Manuals, parts books & more

Read the model-specific requirements with each answer before choosing parts.
Use home sewing machine needles from 65/9 through 100/16, following Baby Lock’s fabric/thread matrix. Use a 75/11 home sewing needle for embroidery. The needle threader is limited to 75/11-100/16, cannot be used with wing or twin needles, and is not recommended for transparent nylon monofilament or specialty threads. For embroidery, use upper embroidery thread intended for this machine and included or recommended 60-weight embroidery bobbin thread. The 2/11 X59296-121 twin needle requires matching upper-thread thickness and quality, manual front-to-back threading, zigzag foot J, Twin Needle enabled, an appropriate stitch, and no turning with the needles down. Insert ordinary needles with the flat side toward the rear, fully to the stopper, and securely tighten the clamp. The manual’s special-use 130/705H wing-needle wording is not promoted as the universal needle system.
Use the supplied plastic X52800-120 bobbin or the same type: 11.5 mm (about 7/16 inch) high, Class 15 type. Insert it beneath the top bobbin cover so the thread unwinds left. For utility sewing, use thread appropriate for the fabric, normally the same as the upper thread. The removable standard case is green-marked XG2058-001 and is recommended with the included or recommended 60-weight embroidery bobbin thread; do not adjust its tension screw. The alternate unmarked XG2062-101 case is for prewound or other embroidery bobbin threads such as 90 weight; its tension screw can be adjusted if necessary. BLG-BOB is separately supported as a Group G compatible item, not used to infer the core system.
Ordinary feet attach by aligning the foot pin with the holder notch and lowering the lever until it snaps in. The holder is removable for feet such as the walking foot and embroidery foot U, which use the holder screw. The walking foot also hooks around the needle-clamp screw; thread the needle manually with it or attach it only after using the needle threader, use a 90/14 needle for quilting, and sew at slow-to-medium speed. This does not establish holder interchangeability, universal adapter requirements, or cross-brand low-shank equivalence.
Low shank (the OEM group/shank chart prints G/L).

Use the full source procedure and its safety precautions. A short referenced answer is not a substitute for service documentation or qualified electrical/mechanical repair.
Service-manual availability and service-only procedures remain unestablished unless separately cataloged and reviewed.
Vesta research covers bobbins, needles, feet and seven specifications. BLG-BOB confirms the named item only. Class 15, 130/705H and the label L do not establish cross-brand bobbin, needle-system or low-shank equivalence. Missing information does not mean incompatible.
An unanswered question does not mean a part is incompatible. We have not confirmed enough information to recommend it.
