Academic Program Assessment Report COLLEGE: CVPA BA Theatre & BFA Theatre

ACADEMIC YEAR: 2014-2015

REPORT AUTHOR: Karen Lee Hart

PROGRAM STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: SLO #1 - Identify and articulate humanistic values and cultural diversity found in the study of theatre

represented by knowledge of the history, socio-cultural traditions, and literary richness. SLO #2 - Demonstrate oral written, and graphic communication skills as appropriate to theatre SLO #3 - Exhibit analytical, critical, creative thinking/ability and supportive research techniques ☐SLO #4 - Synthesize theatrical elements in class projects, production, and performance SLO #5 - Demonstrate competence in the major area of theatrical specialization by producing theatrical work SLO #6 - Articulate a coherent set of artistic and intellectual goals DIRECT MEASURES: SLO #1 - Identify and articulate humanistic values and cultural diversity found in the

study of theatre represented by knowledge of the history, socio-cultural traditions, and literary richness.

THE 1000 Intro to Theatre Final Examination Score DIRECT MEASURE: Final Exam consisting of multiple choice and short answer. The content covers basic terminology and theatre

history. Questions agreed upon by Department of Theatre Faculty. SCORING: 0 to 100% TARGET: 80% of students across sections with a total exam score 70% or higher DATA COLLECTION AND RESULTS: FA14 THE 1000-01 N = 25(9 Majors) MEAN=72% A’s=4, B’s=10, C’s=2, F’s= 3 88% received a score ≥70% SP14 THE 1000-01&02 N = 39 (10 Majors) MEAN=72% A’s=11, B’s=7, C’s=2, F’s=19 49% received a score ≥70% DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS: Final exam and quiz scores improved. Extra emphasis was placed on the purchase and usage of the textbook

through out the semester. This is a GE course and is open to the general population but is required of all theatre majors. Most theatre majors are advised to take this course their first semester and this variable may be reflected in the improved scores. Section 2 of this course was taught by a new lecturer using a different format and exam and could not be easily compared. An attempt to coordinate the exams between sections failed when the lead professor became ill and the course was taught by a replacement adjunct.

CURRICULAR ACTIONS/CLOSING THE LOOP: A faculty committee has been formed and has begun the process of evaluating the content and practicality of

the scope of this course determining introductory level knowledge and valuable terms for majors and non-majors. With the addition of the new course THE 1300 Intro to Performance Design and ID 2023 Plays: On Page and On Stage we will be able to remove some of the design/tech content from THE 1000. The committee

is currently reviewing the course student learning outcomes for all of the theatre foundational courses to ensure coverage and reinforcement of core material. The department has prepared curricular revisions to all of the degree plans in the department. They have received department and Dean approval and are awaiting an open docket from the UCC. The course student learning outcomes for THE 1000 need to be rewritten to reflect measurable SLO’s and a new outline submitted to the UCC in the fall of 2015.

THE 3710 World Theatre I: Midterm and Final Exams THE 3720 World Theatre II: Midterm and Final Exams DIRECT MEASURE:

Midterm and Final Exams consist of multiple choice and short answer

SCORING: 0 to 100 total points with an additional 20 points TARGET: Mean score of 80% with 80% of the class receiving 75% or better.

DATA COLLECTION AND RESULTS: MID TERM EXAM: (20% of Final Grade) FA14 THE 3710 N = 11 MEAN= 70% A’s=2, B’s= 2, C’s= 1, D’s=3, F’s= 3 45% received a score ≥70% FA13 THE 3710 N = 16 MEAN= B- A’s=7, B’s= 2, C’s= 1, D’s=5, F’s= 1 63% received a score ≥70% FA12 THE 3710 N = NA MEAN= NA NA% received a score ≥70% SP15 THE 3720 N = 16 MEAN= 71% A’s= 2, B’s= 3, C’s=5, D’s=2, F’s= 4 63% received a score ≥70% SP14 THE 3720 N = 17 MEAN= C+ A’s= 5, B’s= 2, C’s=6, D’s=2, F’s= 2 76% received a score ≥70% SP13 THE 3720 N = 14 MEAN= C+ A’s= 5, B’s= 2, C’s=1, D’s=3, F’s= 1 57% received a score ≥70% FINAL EXAM: (20% of Final Grade) FA14 THE 3710 N = 11 MEAN= 79% A’s=4, B’s= 2, C’s= 1, D’s=1, F’s= 3 64% received a score ≥70% FA13 THE 3710 N = 16 MEAN= B- A’s=4, B’s= 2, C’s= 8, D’s=2, F’s= 0 88% received a score ≥70% FA12 THE 3710 N = NA MEAN= NA NA% received a score ≥70% SP15 THE 3720 N = 16 MEAN= 87% A’s= 9, B’s= 3, C’s=1, D’s=2, F’s= 1 81% received a score ≥70% SP14 THE 3720 N = 17 MEAN= A- A’s=13, B’s=2, C’s=1, D’s=1, F’s= 0 94% received a score ≥70% SP13 THE 3720 N = 14 MEAN= A- A’s= 10, B’s= 2, C’s=2, D’s=0, F’s= 0 100% received a score ≥70% DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS: Continued to use the revised midterm and final exams from F13. Several factors contributed to the drop in

exam scores, for example, multiple snow days forced the content of the course to be condensed in addition to the fact that an exceptionally large number of students in this group had documented learning and test taking disabilities.

CURRICULAR ACTIONS/CLOSING THE LOOP:

Students were encouraged to study in groups and to seek out additional help when needed. Alumni from the Alpha Psi Omega Theatre Honor Society have volunteered to work with students requiring tutoring. No changes major changes to the course are required at this time.


SLO #2 - Demonstrate oral, written, and graphic communication skills as appropriate to theatre THE 2300 TECHNICAL THEATRE PRODUCTION – F14 & S15 THE 2365 DRAFTING AND RENDERING – F14 THE 4350 PORTFOLIO PREPARATION - F14 THE 3340 COSTUME DESIGN – S15 THE 4300 ADVANCED TECHNICAL THEATRE – S15 Annual Student Assessment Kean Theatre Series Production ID 3341-3 BEHIND THE SCENES – F14 & S15 In Fall 2014 THE 2300, THE 2365, and THE 4300 multiple class projects were cancelled or altered to the point that they no longer fulfilled the goal of teaching drafting/rendering techniques, creating projection & sound packages, lighting plots, portfolio preparation and student websites. Extensions and incompletes were giving to students because they were not able to complete the projects within the given time period due to constant computer crashes or printer/plotter problems. THE 2300 and THE 4300 - A guest artist workshop for on sound design was cancelled because the computers could not handle the processing software. Throughout the semester there were not enough working computers to allow all of the students to work simultaneously reducing some projects to demonstrations instead of hands on projects. In the spring 15 THE 3332 Costume Construction the computer pattern-drafting project was dropped because there was only one working computers with the Garment Designer program and no working plotter to print finished patterns. Annual Student Portfolio Reviews - Student design portfolios were lacking examples of computer drafting, design and rendering. Some students were able to complete the class or production projects on their own computers but not all had access to the software required (i.e., Photoshop, Vector Works, Sketch Up, Garment Maker, Isadora etc.) and most did not have hardcopies to present. ID 3341-3 BEHIND THE SCENES - Student and Faculty designers and stage managers were unable to print plans and reports in the lab. Personal computers and printers were brought in by faculty to keep the productions going. Larger plots were printed at the faculty and students expense off campus. Kean Theatre Series – Projection, lighting and sound designs were run on faculty’s, guest designer’s and students’ personal computers during production because the studio computers were unreliable and the number of working computers was too tight to spare one for production. DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS: The computers in the VE309 computer lab are no longer adequate to handle the type of technology required by the technical theatre course and are well below industry standards. The current group of Mac computers is 4 years old are in need of major repairs and updates. Several of the computers in the VE309 computer lab have frozen or crashed when running Vector Works, Photoshop, and Sketch Up--often simultaneously as is requires in parts of the design courses. They have a very difficult time running Vector Works, and even when it is functional the lag time (while processing) is exceptional and unusual based on current standards.

The department is desperately in need of new printers. The current laser printer in VE309 is completely inactive, which is absolutely debilitating for several drafting and rendering projects. The plotter is slow, inaccurate, and no longer works on the network (currently only via USB). This is also an essential piece of equipment that needs to be replaced immediately so we can print out drawings in full scale, for productions and classes.

In the past the senior design faculty member with the assistance of a student aid maintained the computer lab and regularly updated software, however, with her retirement the task of computer mainetance has become more irregular.

The new VE Design computer lab in the VE extension has seating for 12 student stations and one faculty computer. This room alone will require more computers than what we currently have, even if all were in working condition. In the Fall of 2018, then number of students specializing in theatrical design and technology will significantly increase when the first class APA Design/Tech students begin their freshman year. It is vital to the entire department that we retain skilled and talented technical students and this will only happen if we can offer them current technology. The new lighting & sound lab will need a series of specialized computers and equipment separate from the CAD lab. In addition to the computer (CAD) lab, faculty and staff who teach these courses will need their computers to be compatible to the studio and linked to the network.

Selected accreditation standards in relation to facilities and equipment are shown below: Facilities, Equipment, Health, and Safety II F1 Standards - NAST Handbook 2014 – 15

a. Facilities, equipment, and technology must be adequate to support faculty needs, all curricular offerings, and all students enrolled in them, and be appropriately specialized for advanced work.

b. Space, equipment, and technology allotted to any theatre unit function must be adequate for the effective conduct of that function.

c. The number of rehearsal, performance, and classroom spaces and the amount and availability of equipment must be adequate to serve the scope of the program and the number of students enrolled.

d. Budget provisions shall be made for adequate maintenance of the physical plant and equipment. e. Theatre unites with goals and objectives in areas that require constant updating of equipment must

demonstrate their capacity to remain technologically current. CURRICULAR ACTIONS/CLOSING THE LOOP: Spring 2015, as part of a comprehensive review of equipment and supplies that would be needed for the facilities addition to and expansion of Vaughn Eames, a request for new computers and printers was submitted and approved by the Dean and sent to OCIS for evaluation and budget request. See attached request list. With our upcoming NAST accreditation visit October 20-22, 2015, the new CAD lab and lighting and sound studio need to be functional no later than October. In Fall 2015 we will be offering THE 2300 Technical Theatre Production, THE 3335 Scene Design, THE 4350 Portfolio Preparation, and ID 3343 Behind the Scenes and in the Spring THE 2300 Technical Theatre Production, THE 3345 Lighting Design, THE 3332 Costume Construction, and ID 3343 Behind the Scenes. All of these courses require a functioning computer lab with current software and printing capabilities from the first day of classes in September. Hire skilled student aids to maintain the computer/design labs and update software. Establish a regular maintenance and reporting schedule with OCIS for computers, printers, and plotters. Establish rules for computer lab use by students outside of scheduled class hours.


THE 1100 Acting I DIRECT MEASURE:

Performance Rubric In the fall of 2014 the department implemented the use of a new performance rubric for evaluation of the final scene performance across all sections of Acting I. The rubric was created by Holly Logue and adopted by the Kean University Theatre Department. Acting I is an Approved Humanities course and is taken as an elective by many non-majors and as a core major requirement for all theatre programs. Students were identified as major or non-major.

CRITERIA: The rubric consists of 6 criteria and student performance is rated on a 4-point scale. Memorization & Preparation; Application of Vocal Technique; Application of Physical Expression; Application of Emotional Connection, Honesty, and Believability to the Scripts Given Circumstances; Concentration and Focus; Objective and Tactics of the Character

SCORING: 0 = Unscorable; 1 = Beginning; 2 = Developing; 3 = Capable; 4 = Accomplished TARGET: Fall 2014: Instructors were provided the rubric in time for the final performances. Acting I is an entry-level course. It is expected that 80% non-major Mean score of 3.2 or better for each criteria and 18 or better for final scoring ≥80% and 80% of theatre majors would achieve a mean score of 3.4 or better for each criteria and 20.4 or better for final scoring ≥ 85% DATA COLLECTION AND RESULTS: F 14 THE 1100 N=13 majors Mean= A’s= 6, B’s= 3, C’s=1, D’s=1 F’s= 2 79% received a score ≥85% F 14 THE 1100 N=124 non major Mean= A’s= 45, B’s= 32, C’s=22, D’s=13 F’s= 15 79% received a score ≥70% Note: In F 14 11 out of 13 sections reported. There were 26 perfect scores including 6 major/minors. The minor who received a D is no longer in the department and a BFA Design/ Tech Major received the F. F 14 THE 1100 N= 1 majors Mean= A’s= 0, B’s= 0, C’s=1, D’s=0, F’s= 0 0% received a score ≥85% F 14 THE 1100 N=39 non major Mean= A’s= 8, B’s= 7, C’s=5, D’s=9 F’s= 9 54% received a score ≥70% Note: In SP15 only 3 sections out of 8 reported results

DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS: Scores for Vocal Technique and Physical Expression fall below the target score for both majors and non/majors

alike. Exact assignments varied from section to section. Some professors implanted the rubric throughout the semester

where others used it only for the final performance. Although this rubric is a questionable source of data for the sake of this report, there was noted benefit from the implementation of the form with throughout the performance classes including clearer expectations, scoring, and written critiques.

Selected accreditation standards in relation to voice competencies are shown below: Essential Competencies, Experiences, and Opportunities Item IX. A. 3. g. NAST Handbook 2014-2015 “ A flexible, strong, and controlled voice with trained breath support; appropriate vocal range and freedom from vocal and postural tension in rehearsal and performance; demonstrated ability to use the voice effectively as an instrument for characterization together with the ability to project the voice effectively in theatre spaces of varying sizes and in media performance.” CURRICULAR ACTIONS/CLOSING THE LOOP:

This form will continue to be distributed to all performance classes and data retained for major/minor’s portfolios to be included in the junior/senior portfolio review. Establish student portfolio model for future program assessment to better monitor student growth. Create a digital database for individual student information. Request faculty to review and strengthen vocal technique exercises across the Acting I sections. Ask faculty to use the form at least twice during each section to better indicate a baseline and mark student improvement within the course.


SLO #3 – Exhibit analytical, critical, creative thinking/ability and supportive research techniques THE 2301-6 Theatre Lab DIRECT MEASURE: Rubric created by Department of Theatre CRITERIA: Participation/Time Management; Technical/Artistic Skills; Quality of Work; Collaboration/Teamwork/Leadership; Critical Thinking & Problem Solving; Communication and Vocabulary; Safety; Growth; Record Keeping SCORING: 0 – 69=Failure; 70 – 79= Poor; 80-89=Average; 90-94 Above Average; 95-100=Superior TARGET: 90% with a mean Score of 80% or higher

There are several contributing factors to this decline. 1. The number of lab semesters previously completed dropped giving us more students with 2 or fewer semesters of experience. 2. There was a change in the faculty and staff and the scoring was stricter in general. 3. Limited production schedules (complicated by bad weather) and complex designs added pressure to students and staff leaving little time for exploration of new skills. 3. We experimented with changing the time of the course from 3:30 to 5 to 9:30 – 12:15 in the morning. Many students find it difficult to be awake and ready to think at that hour of the morning after a long night of rehearsal. CURRICULAR ACTIONS/CLOSING THE LOOP: Theatre Lab faculty and staff will review student information and backgrounds after the first week of classes and assess the best crew placement for growth. More variety is needed in the first three semesters, allowing students to identify their strengths and gain the confidence to take on leadership roles and increase their independence as an artist/craftsperson. Offer more variations of section times to suit student needs or return to the original afternoon time slot to allow faculty and staff time to prep projects. Supporting Evidence (Data) is attached.

DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS: Scores for Vocal Technique and Physical Expression fall below the target score for both majors and non/majors

alike. Selected accreditation standards in relation to movement competencies are shown below: Essential Competencies, Experiences, and Opportunities Item IX. A. 3. h. NAST Handbook 2014-2015

A flexible, relaxed, and controlled body trained in stage movement disciplines including dance and mime, demonstrated ability to use the body effectively on stage as an instrument for characterization and to be responsive to changing time/rhythm demands and spatial relationships. The training of an actor involves development of the mind, body, and voice.

THE 1165 Performer’s Presence II Data and commentary provided by Holly Logue. DIRECT MEASURE: Comparative SIR II data between the course as designed and taught by Anna DeMers shows: CRITERIA: Final grade based on checklist SCORING: 0 to 100% TARGET: Score ≥ the comparative mean score of 4.01 DATA COLLECTION AND RESULTS: Comparative SIR II data between a full time faculty specializing in movement (S 14) and SIR II results from the S15 course as taught by an adjunct specializing in dance only. Spring 2014 Overall Evaluation - Overall Mean 4.9, Comparative Mean 4.01 Individual area data: A: 4.96, B: 5.0, C: 4.98, D: * (too few students responding), E: *, F: 4.78, G: 4.7 Spring 2015 Overall Evaluation - Overall - 2.38, Comparative Mean 4.01 Individual: A: 2.6, B: 2.8, C; 1.9, D. *, E: *, F: 2.7, G: 2.5 All ratings are below the comparative mean. Though this is a very limited sample/example, it suggests that the full time attention of a faculty member with expertise in this category of movement produces stronger results.

DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS: With the loss of faculty member Anna DeMers at the conclusion of Academic Year 2014, attempts were made to find a suitable replacement for her courses via adjunct hires, but none were successful. The movement classes had to be cancelled in AY 14-15. Substitutions were offered to graduating seniors, but this is undesirable. One of the movement classes has been scheduled for FA 15 with an adjunct hired to teach. The void created by the absence of a F-T movement specialist creates a challenge in the training of BA and BFA actors. It is highly unusual for a BFA program not to have this specialty covered in the make up of resident faculty. An informal survey of colleges with BFA theatre programs’ websites reveals movement as an integral specialty. Beyond the movement training for the BA, BFA performers, courses had been written for the Academy of Performing Arts high school students, focusing on development of movement and performance skills that the APA high school did not provide. AY 15 resulted in a change of approach to those courses, and student reviews were noticeably lower than they had been with the curriculum that had originally been designed. CURRICULAR ACTIONS/CLOSING THE LOOP: Request that the movement faculty position be filled. Supporting Evidence (Data) is attached

DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS: Many transfer students come with some production experience and may need a baseline skills test to evaluate their actual skill level. All students would benefit from a crash course to refresh their skills from year to year. Areas of weakness in level one and two skills include all lighting and sound skills; Students have difficulty identifying lighting instruments, programing/running a light board or follow spot. Due to the lack of a fulltime lighting or sound faculty member, only a very few students have the opportunity to work on the lighting crew to any significant extent. Guest designers do their best to train a few students in a short period of time but the training may be superficial or limited to the task at hand. Another area of weakness basic heavy power tools such as the table saw and pneumatic nail gun. Our current table saw is unsafe and students are not allowed to use it as well as several other major tools. Within the equipment budget for the new VE scene shop, we have requested new heavy power tools replacements with full safety features. The new space and equipment requested should allow more students to safely learn these basic tools. THE 3320 Costume Construction Higher skill level sewing machine techniques are also ranked low for graduates and active lab students. This year we continued the sewing sampler training sessions for lab and tech theatre students, however, it was difficult if not impossible to get each student time on a working sewing machine. Most of the sewing machines in the costume shop are 19 + years old are easily broken beyond our staff’s ability to repair them in house. Students,

faculty and staff brought in personal sewing machines to complete the last two productions and costume construction class. By the middle of the Spring Semester we had one serger (overlock) machine that worked and by the end of the semester we had none. Annual tune-ups have now turned to major repairs and multiple repair visits per year just to keep a few machines running. Repairs on these machines are now more expensive than the machine is worth and parts are no longer available for some. The Dean approved a request for new machines, with vendors, models and prices provided at the end of April 2015. In Spring 2015, several major projects were dropped due to the lack of working sewing machines. Students were required to complete only 80% of the sewing sampler project compared to the previous years. Only two completed the project by working at home, one completed it before the midterms and the remainder of the group completed less than 40% of the project. The hat and draping projects were eliminated as well due to lack of working machines. None of the commercial dress pattern projects were serged or machine finished. The costume shop manager stayed after hours each week to assist the faculty, running from machine to machine, repairing when possible. It is important to replace broken equipment before the beginning of the fall semester. Theatre Lab students and staff will begin construction of the Kean Theatre Series during the first week of classes. With our NAST visit in October, it is important that we move quickly to resolve these issues to meet the NAST standards for accreditation.

Notes about Function & Uses

Domestic/Commercial Sewing Machines

5 Singer 5830C 8 HD3000 Janome Sewing Machine

$350 $2,800 These are easy to use heavy duty sewing machines great for student learning in lab, on mainstage & student shows on costumes, props and scenery & in costume construction class.

2 Singer CG-550 2 NE-30 Necchi Sewing Machine

$400 $800 These are also easy to use heavy duty sewing machines great for student learning in lab, on mainstage & student shows on costumes, props & scenery & in costume construction class. They make nice buttonholes.

Industrial Sewing Machines

3 Singer Industrial Straight Stitch (personal property of Charles del Risco)

2 Janome 1600P-QC Sewing Machine

$999 $1,998 These are more portable than our existing industrials. They are extemely fast for our more advanced students to learn what exists in professional shops that they'll be working in when they graduate. They're necessary for going through thick fabrics like wools and demins. The tables were requesting are universal enough that we can switch in and out different machines depending on what the students are working on. Students will use these as well as Premiere Stages' professional staff & commencement dance designers.

1 Singer Pro 331KI 1 DDL5550 Juki Industrial Sewing Machine with table, stand, assembly and servo motor

$775 $775 This machine is a very heavy duty, fast machine that will last a long time and is a standard machine in most professional shops. The students need to be exposed to this machine Servo motor is needed on the juki machine to be able to adjust the speed of the machine making it easier for students of all difference levels to learn.

Serger/Hemming Machines

1 Kenmore Domestic Serger (Personal property of Karen Hart)

1 1100D Janome Serger $750 $750 This machine finishes the edge of garments on the inside as well as doing different hem functions on all different weights of garments including stretch, heavy wools & denims as well as light sheer fabrics. This one is more expensive than some other machines because it's made of all metal parts on the inside that will last for years as opposed to other machines with plastic parts on the inside that break quickly and are expensive to replace.

1 Singer Ultralock 14SH654 1 1200D Janome Serger $1,150 $1,150 This machine has all of the functions of the machines above as well as a coverstich function which is the best way to make stretch garments look professional. This is especially important for modern shows & for hemming garments for the commencement dancers. It's more expensive because it's two machines in one but is made of heavy duty metal parts that will last very long unlike cheaper machines with plastic parts on the inside that break quickly and are expensive to repair.

1 Singer Ultralock 14u44 (personal property of Karen Hart)

The two above machines will be enough to cover the needs of the shop. We have 4 machines now that are constantly in need of repair because they are cheaply made and old, therefore we usually only have two working serger machines at a time while the others were being repaired. The two new above machines requested are high enough quality that we will no longer have the issue on constantly needing to repair machines. All routine maintenance on these machines can happen before students arrive for the semester so they always have access to properly working machines. The best serger machine we have right now is a personal loan from Karen Hart.

1 TacSew Industrial Blindhemmer

This machine never works properly after many professionals have attempted to fix it. It's not student friendly, not portable and takes up a lot of room in the shop. The Janome HD3000s & Necchi NE-30s above have functions that cover what this machine does which is hemming garments in a way that the stitch is barely seen on the outside.

Machine Tables & Motors

6 Domestic/Commercial machine tables

8 Arrow Sewing - White Gidget

$124.95 $999.60 The current machine tables we have are too short for tall people and so light weight that the table and machine bounce when anyone is sewing too fast. The replacements requested are a heavier weight, built without a skirt around the top of the table that makes it easier for taller people to sit under, and has an option to be folded up & rolled on a set of castors located under the table top. This will make the costume shop more versatile when students need to create different work spaces depending on the project they're working on.

1 Table not build for machines (Replaced by White Gidget above)

This is a basic table that needs to be replaced with an actual sewing machine table (included in the above replacement count). This table sets the machine up too high causing back and neck strain as well making it difficult to feed the fabric into the machine.

4 Industrial Machine Tables 2 Janome Universal Table #494401101

$300 $600 Our current machine tables are warped, the knee levers on attached to the tables are either already beyond repair or need to be repaired constantly. These universal tables are heavy enough to not bounce when the Janome 1600P-QC is in use on it. Listed above is another table that will replace one of these broken industrial tables that we will use for the JukiDDL5550.

4 Industrial Machine Motors (Replaced by Servo

Other PartsSinger bobbins, foot attachments, needles

Janome bobbins, attachments, needles

$500 The Singer brand feet will no longer work on the Janome & Necchi's. Janome & Necchi's will use parts that are interchangable with each other. We will need to replace the Singer brand with their Janome equivalent part for an foot attachments, needles & bobbins. This includes feet that attach cording & piping to fabric as well as make rolled machine hems & ruffles and pleats on the fabric by machine.
