How can I find parts (accessories)for my Kenmore model 84 sewing machine?

I have recently inherited a Kenmore model 84 sewing machine that is in great working order but it only had the regular presser foot and three bobbins with it. In doing research on the internet I have learned that there are several other accessories (i.e. zipper foot) that can be used with this machine but I don't know if this machine is a high shank or low shank or what the model numbers might be for any of the other available attachments. Can anyone please educate me?

If there are parts still available from Sears, you'll want the full model number, which will be of the form 123.4567890 The part of the model number that's actually useful is the three digits before and the four digits after the decimal. The first three digits tell you who made the machine:

and the four numbers after the decimal are the model number -- anything after that is just spinach. http://www.searspartsdirect.com and

may be useful to you.

Chances are, your machine uses a class 15 or class 66 bobbin -- here's how to tell them apart: http://www.dritz.com/askus/knownotions/index.php but it may be another type entirely. Any good sewing machine repair shop can look at the extant bobbins and figure out exactly what you need if they are not 15s or 66s.

They can also look at extant presser feet and figure out what type you have, but you can do that too: http://www.clotilde.com/pages/which_foot.html and sewing machine shops and most fabric stores keep a stock of common generic sewing machine feet, like zipper feet, zigzag feet, perhaps piping feet, etc. Here are some of the types available: http://www.allbrands.com/products/abc0129.html

FWIW, typically a foot from the machine's maker works a bit better on a particular machine than a generic foot -- which is why it's good to have the complete Sears model number so you know who made it. But generic feet usually do just fine -- it's just often the machine specific feet are a smidge better.

Enjoy your new machine!
