Sure would be nice if we could find out more about these beauties, wouldn't it? My Universal is J-A 38. It looks very much the same inside as your Alden. I do not have a single hole presser foot and my needle parks to the left only. Is the Alden a short shank? Some of the feet look like longs. THe U is definitely a long shank and, of course, I have no long shank accessories like a hopping foot or a walking foot. I look forward to seeing your stitches.
