Dressmake Precision Deluxe 60
Can anyone help me with a. dressmaker 60 Precision Deluxe. It was given to me by my cousin. I have no accessories and no manual. It runs very well and is in great condition. I have not been able to find any info on this particular model. I don’t know how to thread it either. Could someone help please?

Will most likely be a Singer Class 15 clone from Japan. Manuals can be hard to find for the machine, but a class 15 manual will do the job if so. Info is hard to come by, but the machines in general give no complaints. Without pics, hard to say for definite

You almost have to post a photo. Many machines were manufactured by X company, but might have been sold under several different names. We might be able to identify the machine by sight or at least help you find a manual. We can probably figure out the threading if nothing else.
The easiest way for me to post a photo is use the "manage attachments" button below this screen or use the paperclip icon above this frame. The trick is to reduce the size of your photo to less than 2 Mb. I usually just leave it full size and reduce the dpi to 96, but most anything like that will work. Then, be sure to scroll over to the right to find the post button. The screen comes up at reduced size and you either have to enlarge to find that button or scroll over.

If it looks like Dressmaker W-60 you may try to send a private message to https://www.quiltingboard.com/member...r-u181771.html It almost looks like the picture she has in her album and the one in the thread might not be correct, but close. Most of the Japanese machines thread much the same way. This isn't the same machine but will give a general idea. http://www.sewusa.com/Threading_Diag...ng_diagram.htm
One should clean the innards and oil where metal rubs metal. Keep oil away from any plastic parts.
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?

Sorry that I didn't catch that when I could have edited it.

These are the requested pictures to identify the threading position and a possible manual. I hope this helps. I do understand that this is a Singer clone 15 from Japan. I have never heard of it before now. Would love to get this running soon.

A couple of other manuals can be found at https://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollec...0203/index.htm and https://www.manualslib.com/manual/10...15.html#manual
At https://www.manualslib.com/manual/10...?page=8#manual you can see how to regulate the pressure. There were a few somewhat different pressure controls, but similar. Either a lever or sometimes an outside knob that could be pressed to release the pressure and then press down on the center to increase the pressure.
Just an interesting note about the Smithsonian manual is that while it does say Singer, it isn't threaded through the needle like the Singer 15's at that time frame. The Singer 15-90 manual will work for most things, but it is threaded through the needle differently. I like the 15-90 manual for showing the oiling points.
