If you want to replace the needle on your sewing machine, you unscrew the thumbscrew behind and above the needle (with the presser foot down) and remove the old needle. Then hold the new needle under there with the point down and insert it into the slot. The slot is usually half round, half flat so you have to be sure the flat part of the needle matches the flat part of the slot. When it is in there, you just finger tighten the thumbscrew and you are ready to go.

Without a diagram, this is hopeless. I would suggest searching out the original manual for your machine, which will describe the capabilities and service points of your machine.

Hello, I am holding the manual. It looks the same as a regular machine.I

If you look at the back of your machine, under the machine bed there is usually a plate with the complete serial number, if you find this and go to managemylife.com and imput it, your manual may come up. They have many of the Kenmore manuals but not all of them.

This depends entirely on which machine you have. Probably the best way to find the answer is to find someone that has a machine, and ask them.
