Hi Lois
Since "the wire" is still on the serger, it is most likely that only the foot came off, not the shank along with the foot. That is good.

The foot has a flat side, this is the side that comes in contact with the fabric. The other side, the one with all the bumps, faces up or towards the sewer when installed. The front of the foot is curved up, something like the front end of a boat. The back end has a bump of metal with a 'rod' (size of a pencil led) across it.

Hold the foot right side up by the front end. Slide it sideways under "the wire" (with the presser foot lifter in the upmost position) and now slide the 'pencil led like' bar under the shank. The shank has a claw like shape into which the 'pencil led like' bar fits. Now lower the presser foot so the shank claw fits over the bar ... it should click into place. If does not 'want' to click into place, press the small button/lever on the shank to open the claw for gripping the bar.

Please let me know how it goes.

Bernina nova foot pressure

The presser foot pressure is not adjustable on the 900 Nova and is not necessary with any Bernina models from the 117L through the 1630 series. If the presser foot bar is sticking so that it is sluggish to respond to the needle plate, the presser bar and bushings will need to be cleaned of oil varnishes in order to function properly. (99.9% of the problem)
The other potential problem although unusual, is that the machine frame has been damaged from a drop or impact, causing the presser bar frame bearings to be out of alignment, hence a sticking shaft condition. You do not want to attempt to correct this as you will likely ruin the machine. Suggest contacting a specialist

Mechanism that snaps the presser foot on and off fell apart, need a diagram to show how to put the little black plastic part back on and where the black spring that fell out goes

Assuming you have all the parts, the spring goes inside the little hole in the back of the mechanism.
You then position the lever behind it, line it up with the bar that holds the lever, and put the lever pin back in.
This is very tedious, and can be frustrating. You might consider paying for a new one.

How do I change a pfaff 1222 presser bar lifter? I ordered a replacement part, but now I don't know how to remove it.

If you are lucky, your part will come with instructions. Each machine is a bit different but basically you have to get into the needle bar/presser foot bar area. If you are Lucky you can get to the lever assembly without having to take out a bunch of bars. But I've only ever seen that once on an industrial machine. So you take out the presser foot bar... to get to the lever. Use caution. You want to be sure you know where and how the parts fit in there. Take your time... take pics or make notes.

Good luck

Hello, just a few quick questions. I have a Janome Harmony 1017 machine and I want to know if it is an oscillating hook or a rotary hook machine. Also, I was given a rolled hem foot and a zipper foot but...

The easiest way to know is to look at the bobbin case and if it has a finger sticking up then it is oscillating, plate If you have snap on feet to take the foot off just push the front of the foot up, to put the foot on, rest the foot on the needle plate then lower the presser bar down on top of it to snap on

The machine keeps giving me an error message with a diagram showing the foot should be down. It is, but it won't sew anything. I can thread a bobbin, so I know there is power to the machine. Also, when...

that presser foot with that black thing that is just flopping around... well when the presser foot is down that thing should be locked into the side hole. when you have the presser foot up, put it into the side hole, fiddle with it, move it around til you find that hole, then drop the presser foot it should be locked on it now. That T presser foot needs that.

Replacement parts

You can go into a full service fabric.repair service shop and they can order one for you. Ebay is also another great place to start. Its good to know what the plug looks like. Ebay currentlt has this power cord and presser foot for $34.99. Be carefull when ordering off Ebay look at the photos, many sellers are selling the presser foot without power cord and a live wire on the end where the cord should be, or the cord with a live wire where the presser should be, Make sure your getting the whole unit.
