Edit: You would push down on the outer ring to get it to release. Here is a video demonstration at about 7:40:

Thanks for the video! I just learned a few new things! The foot it came with doesnt have the hole space to zig zag. It looks like a camel toe with a hole big enough for the needle. I could...oh wait! I think , why yes i forgot i had a Brothers Charger 651 also a japanese made machine hidden in my stash! Maybe that foot would fit this lady. :-)
