    To post a photo, you have to click on "go advanced", which is below on the right when you reply. A larger screen will come up. To post a photo, go to "manage attachments", which will be below. Then, click there and "upload files from your computer" will come up. That's where you put the photo file.

    There's an easier way. In the tool bar above the reply window, the third icon over from the right that looks like a tree in a box, that's the 'add photo' icon. Click it and follow the prompts.

    Default Found a cute one!

    Only 10$ at Goodwill, in the cabinet. [ATTACH=CONFIG]560423[/ATTACH]
    Not sure if the picture worked. Bought a new belt with bobbin winder rubber bit and adjusted the shaft that holds the needle on- it was at a random 20 degree angle? Dusted it out and oiled it and it runs. The color is a bit lighter in person.

    I tried to post info
    Go over to Victorian Sweatshop forum. Then at the top bar, use search and search "Singer Lotus" and you will find info on that style machine
    It may not be not a Japanese clone and it may be some what recent judging by the plastic knob unless it is just something on the bed.

    I am a bit confused. Do you have a brand for your touch and sew? Sounds like too new of a name for a 15 clone.

    Dial and Sew was used by more than one manufacturer. Without a picture of your machine we don't know what it is.

    I just did a search on QB and it seems that a lot of Dial n sew machines came without a manual. You might try http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine_Manuals/Deluxe_ZigZag_Sewing_Machines.htm and see if there is anything close.
