I have a Dressmaker that I got new in about 1971. Not sure of the model number. It has had some not-so-regular check ups and a new belt, but nothing else. It just keeps going and going. The only complaint I have is that, as a metal (rather than plastic) machine, I can barely lift it on and off the table. I had to buy another machine so I had something I could take to classes. But "workhorse"? You bet.

I just found one of these. It is a Dressmaker SWM-1000. Know anything about this model? Serial number 15456 I bought it. Sounds great~! I went ahead and got it. It was $20 can't wait to use it.
