I don't know about your machine but just wanted to comment.... Seems a lot of old machines the owners would wrap a piece of fabric around it for a pin cushion. It was handy. I learned to sew on my moms old singer and it had one on it. What we don't think about is the damage the pins do to the finish under the cloth.I would remove that cloth before it ruins the finish. I'm just a sewer not a tech.
