Vintage Japanese 'Badged' sewing machine with fancy stitches
#173
Not all. These still work
I'm not sure about the youtube in the last one. If one can find a similar White machine, https://www.singer.com/support might have it. I have looked for a few White manuals on the Singer site that weren't there, but a lot are.
I was thinking I have found some manuals on manualslib.com but when I searched for deluxe zigzag manuals all that came up were for Singer machines.
I don't remember any Japanese manuals on VSS, yet. I have a couple that I should scan and have posted.

T K Evans,
Nice machine - looks like a lot of Kenmore machines -
Here is a link to a generic zz manual
http://www.dontai.com/wp/images/imperial-535-manual.pdf
I don't know if it will help with the decorative stitches though. I see a plastic cam stack so it is from the 80's
I'm thinking I like the drop in cams/disks better than the cam stack machines.
Much easier to work on and they seem to keep on going.

Actually there is a Belle Aire - it is a red machine. This MANUAL is the manual you need for that machine: http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...al-rotated.pdf
Muv has a video for a Singer 15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2tiiZ51J7g
The clones should thread the needle right to left - some of the Singer 15s thread left to right but they are the same beast and the same manual. It is unlikely that you will find a specific manual for a clone.

I just checked this thread and there are over a hundred pictures in this thread. Granted, there are lots that have multiple images of the same machine. Which machine are you referring to? Have you searched some of the sites for a manual? Many of these machines may have a different name on them, but are the same machine. Sometimes you will be able to find a manual for one of the other named machines that will work for your machine. Sometimes you can find a manual by looking at the images on some of the "manual" sites.

There is a FB site - Vintage Sewing machines (non Singer) that has a catalog of many manuals. Someone there was able to find a manual for the Universal I just gave away. It went to a young man who has never sewn so I felt good that I could print him directions.
