I recently bought a vintage hallmark sewing machine. It is lavender in color and it zigzags and has built in buttonhole stitch and it takes cams. It is made in Japan its model number is 763BH. But I have been unable to fine out anything about it. I figure it is a clone from the Singer machine. But that is only a guess. Does anyone else own a Hallmark sewing machine? Or know how I can find any information about it? I have spent hours on the web and found nothing about this sewing machine. It must not have been very popular in its life time.

It is a badged Japanese sewing of some kind. It is not likely a Singer clone. A good picture of it would help us help you. Also on the underside of the machine there should be a JA or JC number and that would identify who manufactured the machine. Did you get a manual with it?

Caroline ,
Yes there is JA and the number 21. And No I didn't get a Manual with it. Will try to get someone to help me post a picture of it. . Thanks

JA-21 = EMDEKO. That should be a nice sewing machine.

Thank you ever so much. My machine is a little different then the one pictured in this manual but it will be a big help in figure out how it works. I really appreciate the help.

Thank you so much for this information I know it will be a great help. I really appreciate. I am very excited about what I will find out about my machine. So thanks ever so much.

I have this same sewing machine, only it's branded "Good Housekeeper" rather than "Hallmark". This is the only other one I've ever seen. I also have the manual if that will help you!

I am also in search of an Emdeko manual... model LT-72. Trying to get this thing running again and it's my first time repairing/cleaning a sewing machine and I can't seem to find this manual anywhere : (

Thanks for the Emdeko manual link. I have two of those machines. I really like the Emdeko machines. Made by Toyota. I love how fast mine fly through fabric thick or thin.
