Do you need me to take a picture of it and post it here?T The booklet says, Instructions Stylist zig-zag sewing Machine/model 457 Singer. copyright 1969. My daughter used this machine before I gave it away. I made a copy of the manuel incase she lost the original or trashed it.
Got the manual yesterday!! What a wealth of information!! Thank you soooooooo much!!

I have this machine and it is a work horse. The reason I keep it is because it is the one I use to mend, sew jeans or canvas or home dec fabric. I've had it for over 25 years and have only had it serviced a couple of times. It is virtually indestructable. I'm happy for your find. You're going to love it.

Thank you for the offer Howard!! Alisapao730 already sent me a copy of the manual and I have been working away with it. It's a great machine I quilted my sons quilt then pieced my daughters top. It is really a lot better than the newer brother I had.
