I love your 96. I can't believe how wide the bed is. Let me know how that viking foot works out. I just ordered the high shank big foot another poster recommended.

if you get a index card and tape it to the plate area with painters tape, you know that lovely shade of blue . hand bring up your bobbin thread, and it also makes your whole on the index card, you should be ready to go.So just remember you are the stitch regulator.have fun , BUT practice on a scrap-quilt sandwich first, put the batting in too that you will be using.Sandra

I saw an ad the other day for an adapter that converts the high shank to low shank. I think it may have been on Ebay.

I read in an article that if you do leave the feed dogs up when FMQ then set the stitch length to 0. This prevents the dogs from moving.

That's how I do it on my regular mechanical, but am going to try it on a vintage machine. My electric one is a class 66. treadle is a 15.

I couldn't believe it, when I saw the harp area on that 96. WOW is what came out of my mouth.

There is a website where you can buy the feed dog plate covers for these machines. It does not harm the machine as it screws into a hole already there (at least on mine it does)
Unfortunately I do not remember the site name so you will have to google for it.
Sorry I can't be of more help. Perhaps someone else reading this will know and post for us with the name of the company.

I have a few old Singers and I can drop the feed dogs on 3 of the electric ones and on my treadle I always use my treadle to quilt on
