Picked up a Singer Fashion Mate 362 for $25 today. You ask why? It came fully loaded with an entire box of Singer attachments. Serial # is MI 573764 & might possibly have been made in Monza, Italy. It's heavy but has some plastic pieces to it. It only does zigzag and straight stitch so am guessing it's an earlier machine in a tranisiotn phase perhaps from metal to mostly plastic. Only Singer I have found with a manual. To wind the bobbin, still need to loosen the clutch. Will clean and post pics after DH goes to take a nap tonight. My younger DD wants the machine b/c she can do some her own mending that way and not wait on me to get tired of looking at the mending pile. :)
BTW: If anyone has any info on this model, I'd appreciate it.
