In the US, the machines will say right on them where they are made. I've been in a sewing machine dealership with the clerk INSISTING that a machine is made in Switzerland, only to walk right over to the machine and show her that right on the label it says otherwise. eBay sellers often state that the Pfaff they are selling was made in Germany, when the machine label says Czech Republic. People can sometimes be very insistent, and yet still be mistaken.
