Accessory Compatibility Finder
Find the evidence for exact part/model matches—and see where manufacturer confirmation is still missing.
Two honest results: “Manufacturer-listed” means the exact model is named in the cited source. “Unverified” means this research has not established the match; it does not mean incompatible. Installation conditions and final manufacturer instructions still apply.
| Exact part | Selected model evidence | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| SA156 Brother SA156 plastic Class 15 bobbin | Manufacturer-listed | The support answer names these exact models and specifies plastic SA156 bobbins. Do not generalize to every Class 15 or metal bobbin. |
| SAMFM100 Brother SAMFM100 4 × 4 magnetic hoop | Manufacturer-listed | Official list explicitly names SE700, SE725 and BLMAR (Aurora). Manufacturer states material up to 2 mm; follow frame/machine instructions and any firmware requirements. |
| SAMF180N Brother SAMF180N 4 × 7 magnetic frame | Unverified | The N suffix is part of the exact number. The current product highlights name SE2000 and PE900. Do not substitute SAMF180. |
| SAMF180 Brother SAMF180 5 × 7 magnetic sash frame | Unverified | Published list names other machine families. No launch-model match is established here. Similar numbering and nominal size are not compatibility evidence. |
| SA432 Brother SA432 4 × 4 embroidery hoop | Unverified | Reviewed manufacturer list does not name the six launch models. Obtain confirmation; a retailer’s broader list has not been treated as manufacturer verification. |
| SA444 Brother SA444 5 × 7 embroidery hoop | Unverified | Reviewed manufacturer list omits the six launch models. Unknown in this dataset does not mean unsuitable; ask for an exact-model confirmation. |
| KOALA-COMPACT Koala Compact cabinet | Unverified | Official cabinet list names Aurora and Bloom. Confirm revision, insert and intended sewing configuration; this does not certify embroidery movement inside the cabinet. |
How to use the evidence
Match the exact model on the machine, retain any accessory suffix and open the cited source before buying. Check the specific revision and any required firmware or operating conditions. A geometric design fit, a nominal hoop size and a mounting relationship are different questions.
Why a familiar accessory can be unverified
Some reviewed manufacturer lists omit newer models that appear in retailer descriptions. We do not silently merge the lists. Ask the manufacturer or authorized supplier to resolve the exact relationship; do not force a part to fit.
