Needle, bobbin & presser-foot details
Read the model-specific requirements with each answer before choosing parts.
Needle
System
130/705H, the needle system specified in this model's OEM workbook.
Sources and pages
Needle insertion
Insert the needle fully upward with its flat side facing the back.
Sources and pages
Replacement interval
- A recommendation, not a guarantee that a damaged needle remains usable until that interval.
The workbook recommends changing needles after every 4–6 hours of stitching.
Sources and pages
Presser foot
Attachment mount mechanism
- This establishes the sole attachment, not standardized shank height, adapters or universal cross-brand compatibility.
Ordinary presser feet attach using snap-on soles.
Sources and pages
Included foot
- Workbook edition/package scope; this is not a standardized mount or third-party fit claim.
The workbook lists Zigzag A, Zipper E, Satin Stitch F, Buttonhole Foot with Slide R and Button-sew-on T as standard feet for this model.
Sources and pages
Specifications & documented facts
Specifications apply to the named model and document edition. Read any setup, fabric or safety requirements with the answer.
Performance & stitch capabilities
Auto lock
Auto Lock finishes the current pattern, takes short securing stitches and stops automatically.
Sources and pages
Stitch selection
Use the side-to-side cursor buttons to select the stitch-number digit, then the up/down value buttons to choose the pattern.
Sources and pages
Care, setup & service references
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.
Coverage and source-review limits
Model-specific documents support selected answers. Their requirements and unanswered questions remain; substitutions and third-party compatibility have not been confirmed.
Coverage and remaining questions
- Operating manual
- Listed below; check the edition and available link.
- Exact OEM part application
- No model-specific part application is listed here.
Still to confirm
An unanswered question does not mean a part is incompatible. We have not confirmed enough information to recommend it.
Other names, regional versions, production history, further specifications and documents are not fully covered here. Their absence is not a “none exist” finding.
Next evidence targets
- Establish exact bobbin class, part numbers, dimensions and hook system.
- Establish standardized shank and holder dimensions rather than inferring them from snap-on soles.
- Add exact operating, parts and service documents where available; b38-specific controls do not transfer.
These are research questions, not claims that the missing relationship exists.
