the working area between the needle and the side of the machine body is 6.5 inches and the hight is 5 inches. This space is great for quilting baby quilts and larger if you know how to roll and center-outside sew. I pray that I have helped answer your needs. chanlin

Hi Jared C. There are two options. One without extension ring and other with ring. With extention ring the needle penetrates about little less than quarter inch and without it goes little less than half inch.

You have to remove the arm and put it in beside the machine. I have the same machine and that is what I purchased this for, works for me.

I have not measured. But honestly, not much. The handles do not go far beyond the front of the machine and the pedals stay within the body of the machine as you use it. You could use in a small space as long as you have a decently high ceiling.

What I ordered was the needle and plastic cartridge that the needle is inserted in. I had to take the very small screws out of the (I guess the head shell) and unplug the wires and replace it. A little tricky but it worked out great. Hope this helps

Ensure you follow the instructions. Remove the white plastic bit from the arm so that the needle can show. And did you turn the screw all the way in?

Hi Cheryl, We don't have one on the floor but it has about the same size as some of the other sewing machines. They are about 9-9 1/2 inches between needle and the neck of the sewing machine. If you have any further questions feel free to call toll free at 800-442-8227 and ask for our sewing specialist Paul. Thanks, Scott

none. I went to use it as a replacement as suggested by the manufacturer, but it doesn't fit in the machine.

The spare is the 1.8 needle. Rotate the needle and you will see 1.8 engraved on the big round part of the needle.

What fun to be using an antique machine! I'm sure it's challenging, but worth the effort! In answer to your question, Organ sewing machine needles that I purchased are 1 1/2" long. The top 3/4" of the needle (which fits into the needle bar) is flat on one side, but the rest is rounded. I hope that this answers your question. Good luck!

Back the needle as far as it goes. Just done turn to hard you will feel when the stepper motor stops turning then take picture and install in same location. Mine is close after driving by radar

Try putting your needle position on zero one. That should solve the problem.

I have a brother machine, you can change the default needle position to whichever you like, check your manual. Mine is not as fancy as this one, in fact that is why I am here - contemplating purchasing this machine, but on my hc185 you can change the needle position, so I would assume you can on this model as well

My suggestion is to get a ruler and draw 1/4" line on the side you are wanting to sew. Then sew on the line - it will show you where your needle should be positioned. My Brother has to be on #1 for this foot to work. I also found I like to use 3.0 stitch when using this foot. It just seems to work best for me on this length. I hope this was helpful.

The needle it self is 5 1/2" to where it screws into the base. 6" all total.
