I took some more pictures of the new looper I just got.
Needlebar has a picture showing three different loopers, two with the turn knob like my older one. However mine is not quite the same as either of those two, though it hooks in the same.
This is my oldest Domestic. I bought this machine, then learned about the chainstitch adaptor and discovered this machine was too old -before the adaptor came out. It does not have a hole in the shuttle carrier.
I did find a looper and then set looking for a shuttle carrier, and when I finally got one, found out it's a newer style and my older looper would not fit.
So I kept looking and finally ended up with a New Domestic machine -that takes the looper I had.
The Domestic attachment set I just bought came with a looper - the newest style. And it fits in the carrier I bought.
The manual states taht you need a needle plate with a scooped out needle hole on the bottom side. The machine comes with a plate like this already on it. The manual states to make sure if you get a replacement - that it also looks like this on the underside.
One other way to help tell if a machine would take the looper - it has this hole in the throat plate.
Which accepts the leg of the reverse hemmer that works with chainstitching.
