Randa, that Dressmaker is NOT a 15 clone. See where your tension disk is located on the front facing you. It is a very pretty machine, though!

No, I didn't think the Dressmaker I have is a clone....but I saw a blue machine at the antique mall that I wondered about being a clone. It's so pretty! Metalic blue and if my memory serves me correctly (and many times it doesn't) I think it said HOME on it. $39 and the wiring was all cracked and I'd be afraid to run it until it was rewired. I'd take it for $25. I've asked him to come down on the price but he won't budge!
I played with the dressmaker last night and this AM...cleaned all the lint out, oiled it a bit, and it sews a good stitch, but it's pretty noisy!! I didn't play with the cams at all. Looks to be complete except for a book!
