You can hand crank anything that has a bolt on motor so that you can bolt a hand crank on but it has to line up with the bolt straight down from the wheel. I have a couple Japanese deluxe machine I'd like to try because some times I want to have a very slow speed on some of the fancy stitches. The other thing you have to have is a way to get the finger of the hand crank into the balance wheel - you can cut a notch in them. See sew-classic.com for the hand crank and instructions how to do it.
