Before changing the bobbin, lock all keys and operation buttons to prevent accidental starting; insert the bobbin so its thread unwinds to the left, hold it down and guide the thread through the needle-plate-cover slit.
Exact Flare insertion procedure; the included bobbin's b mark is only a winding-orientation reference, not a class or substitute claim.
Lock the operation keys, use the screwdriver to remove the needle, then insert a straight new needle with its flat side toward the rear until it touches the stopper and tighten the clamp screw with the screwdriver; incomplete insertion or loose tightening may cause breakage or damage.
Exact Flare replacement and injury-prevention procedure.
Lock the keys and raise the lifter, loosen the embroidery-foot screw with the included screwdriver, replace the foot, tighten its screw securely, and raise the lifter to check attachment.

Identity families, physical traits, and OEM accessory groups stay separate. A group badge applies only to its named program and domains.

Temporary compatibility containment
Group-derived compatibility review in progress
Compatibility under review: the 2025 Baby Lock roster identifies this as an embroidery-only machine and prints an OEM group/shank code, but SewGraph's earlier projection widened that row into ordinary sewing-accessory and presser-foot claims without preserving machine class, shank, section, or adapter conditions. Group-derived relationships are temporarily withheld; independently cited exact-model facts remain available.
Verified identity facts, cited machine traits, and independently cited exact-model relationships remain available. The held OEM roster group is shown as evidence only and currently asserts no public compatibility domain.

Multiple cited representations for one field share one row. SewGraph preserves every value and exact proof passage; it does not guess which representation is “raw” or “normalized” when the public projection does not label that distinction.
Group codes are namespaced to the issuing OEM program and apply only to the cited domains. They are not machine series and do not prove compatibility outside those domains.
