my neice won a dressmaker to when she was like 9 yrs old , the best machine i every sewed on. I wanted a machine that had a botton hole maker on it and i gave my daughter the dressmaker. will that was the dumest thing i ever did. never had a machine as good as the dressmaker. than i lucked out and found an other dressmaker and man i grab the puppie and ran home so fast all you could see was dust. and now im so happy, i just put a binding on a quilt today and love evey stitch that machine sewed. i think dressmaker is the band name of the machine.

Dressmaker is a Japanese, badged machine. There's tons of different names, Dressmaker being just one of the many cloned machines out there. They were copied and different names or badges were slapped on them. Made in Japan. Not USA. I have a badged, Japanese machine. They're hard to trace back to year etc. though that's really not all that important. They don't fetch the interest that the Singers, Whites etc. do, but they're still neat because you can find them in great colors and they're still work horses.
