Very likely made in Japan - I have seen others with that name but they didn't look the same. They must have had some really fun times painting those Japanese machines. Don't you just love the paint???

I just bought a Dressmaker sewing machine at a garage sale today that is like the one on page 10 of this thread, owned by grant 15 clone. It doesn't look like it has been used for $15.00. The book looks like new and the there is a complete box of cams and tools. I cannot find any information about the mfg or possible year. The motor has YM40 serial # 1692 then a silver plate beside that number that I can't read. Can anyone help.

NL Quilter, borax can be found in Superstore/Loblaws, etc. The brand is Mule Team, it is in a green box, and is usually in the cleaning section. Good luck! Maybe you will not see this though, as your message was posted a few months ago...?

Love most of all the pink FabriMate shown on page 1 of this thread.
This board is my daily coffee sipping internet stroll. Such a lovely decompress/escape from Real World :-)
I only began sewing --er, collecting machines-- a few months ago. When I first started, I had gotten an old Bernina 530, and someone on the internet said "Cool - Show me a photo!" I thought (at the time!) that was weird. I mean, they all look the same, right, if you know which model number it is? I didn't grasp why she would want to see a photo.
Then my disease (MachinusMustusRescuitus) came into full bloom and I fully, FULLY understand the thrill in seeing photos of machines.
Kinda crazy.
Kinda soothing.
Kinda giggle-making, especially Miriam's and GirlieGirlieSquirrelyShirley's amazing habits/collections.
Coffee almost gone. Wasted my time typing - could have been ogling...
