Hi meriam
I didn't know that some machines were made in japan.
I am a vintage japanese sewer, ( made in japan 1/20 /1954 ) hehe
This made me think about the machine here in the computer room It is a new home machine & it has little black cams that you put in it to do lettering & decrative stitches. My sister in law won it years ago & gave it to our step mother. My stepmother used it a little bit then I got it after her & daddy went to the nursing home.
But it is made in japan but I couldn't find a date on it.
