I sold that machine to a guy who came to buy a machine for his wife for Christmas - he took a look at this one and had to have it too. Cracks me up. |
Nope - he bought that for himself...
My boss bought a red and white Belaire clone from me a couple years ago so he could park it in his living room and take it for a spin - he LOVES it - he is into sewing costumes for plays his kids are in. |

Here is mine, a Revere, made in Japan. I rescued it from a dumpster outside a Goodwill store a few weeks ago. I love the color!
I am going to have it cleaned and serviced and give it to my granddaughters to use. |
good choice for GDs - simple to use and very good machines.
Did you see Muv's video above? I showed Muv's video on how to thread it to my 21 year old computer friend last night. He thought he could figure one of those out - he really LOVED her video. |
I'll keep my eyes open for machines like these. They are really neat.
|
I know there are more of these Japanese 15s out there - please keep posting pictures!!!

So much fun looking at all these lucious machine. Love all the colors. I gotta get me one.

Since no one has posted an Atlas yet, I thought I show mine. My mother brought this home one day back in the late 1960s. She worked at an auto auction - a place where used cars are bought and sold between car dealers. She said that this machine was in the trunk of one of the cars. As with all these clones, she's heavy, sturdy, and will run forever.
The photo doesn't show her at her true "pinkness." [ATTACH=CONFIG]308486[/ATTACH] |

I brought home the Montgomery Wards 15 clone tonight. I haven't purchased it yet. I want to try FMQ with it first. Tension was off - I got that, didn't advance well - whoops, the feed dogs were down, but 1) it sounds like a tank and 2)where is the thread cutter?
It's a pretty little thing. Shiny black with moderate silver trim. |
