Anyone have a vintage Needlecraft Sewing Machine? I've never heard of this manufacturer before and can't find anything on the net. I'm specifically looking for info on model 142-B the automatic zigzag.

I had never heard of it before either. But i LOVE mine
I not sure what machine you are talking about but I love mine. I have gone through many many machines and I am still pulling out "Old faithfull" (what I call her because she is so dependable).
I found your post because I was wondering if they still make the brand I can not find anything about Needlecraft like you.

We just bought some property and this machine was in the garage. It's a Needlecraft Super De Luxe Zig Zag Machine Model #160. I have been searching all day to find any info and my friend found your site. I would love any info there might be. [ATTACH=CONFIG]588416[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]588417[/ATTACH]

Maybe "Needlecraft" is a model name, rather than a manufacturer? My White says "Jeans Machine" (Or it did,
before the decal wore off!) So in 60 years if someone was looking for info on a "Jeans Machine" rather than a White, they might not get very far.

Rebecca, Needlecraft is a "badged" Japanese made machine. A badged machine is a machine made by one manufacturer and he sells it to many different distributors and stores who would then put their name either by a plate or decal with distributor, store or other name. Consequently, there may be a lot of the same machine with different names on it. It probably has a JA or JC number on the underside. Not all JA and JC numbers are known but there are some that have been identified by certain characteristics.
There is a forum for vintage machines on this board at https://www.quiltingboard.com/vintag...thusiasts-f22/ and a rather long thread there about Japanese made zig zag machines Vintage Japanese 'Badged' Zig Zag and Straight Sew Sewing Machines
If you look at http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine...g_Machines.htm you will find "Deluxe Zig Zag #57 (139)" and a picture of it at http://www.sewusa.com/Deluxe%20Zig%2.../SDeluxe7d.jpg
