I inherited this machine from my MIL. She passed several years ago. My husband believes it is a singer but there is nothing identifying it as one. The label is coming off. I'd appreciate any help I can get. I want to test her out one of these days, as I wasn't emotionally ready earlier.

Just learning about the different machines myself so I'm no help, but I sure like her lines, will keep watching. Someone on this board knows, I'm sure

I want to say that it is a "Lincoln". I think I saw one on craigslist or Goodwill.com not too long ago. And that probably isn't much help to you!!!

maybe this not the same model but a possibility http://www.acesewvac.com/hus-lena.html

That link came up as a new machine. What were you thinking it was?

It is a 15 clone made in Japan. That is not a bad thing. After the war Japan made thousands of them under different names. Lostin51 says they are better than the Singers.
I have two or three of them they are good machines for straight stitching.

I think that you have a wonderful 15 clone there ... Should sew great!

Necchi - I typed Lincoln and made in Japan and that came up. Now hmmm when was it made?

I was studying a similar machine earlier. It appears to be a Japanese clone of a Singer class 15. It seems most of them have the word "Deluxe" or De Lux" in their model #. A few of the articles I read said many were made even better than the Singer they were copying from. The particular one I was studying was a pinkish/purple color which Singer never made back then so I knew it wasn't a Singer.

she's pretty

don't know but she sure is a beaut

It's a Japanese clone, not a Singer.

My fist machine was just like this--Singer clone. I never had a bit of trouble with it, still sews beatifully. Great for piecing. Takes all singer feet and attachments.

IT is a Japanese copy of the singer 15, so the directions you can download for free for the Singer 15 will work for it. It also has the knob for lowering the feed dogs. I have a similar one and the feed dog lowering knob has "emb" for embroidery, which lowers the feed dogs the whole way. Great for free motion embroidery. Yours used to say "Lincoln" and I am sure it was named after the car, as mine is a "Fiatelli" I have also seen other car names on them!
