Default My vintage White fancy stitcher

I rescued this beauty for $10 in the cabinet, manual but no attachments! Oh well I'm sure they can be purchased separate, it sews SUPER great! Do any of you have any valuable info on the machine? Thanks!

Yes thanks to all my elbow grease and repainting the cabinet along with using an extra handle I had in my stock pile. She's sure dolled up now and ready for the next project! 😊

Looks like it will take low shank feet. There's one catch, when you straight stitch does the needle sit in the center of the zig zag foot or does it sit to the left? Low shank needle in the center feet are very common. Low shank needle to the left aren't. Best way to find them is search ebay, thrift stores, CL and garage sales..

I have one almost like yours, not exactly, but close. I have the case and it's really heavy. I have just the one foot to mine and have never needed anything else. I clean mine every six bobbins or the sounds gets clackidy clack rather loudly. So far I have pieced about six quilts on it this past year. It's a sturdy strong machine I will keep forever.

Wow, what a beautiful machine...what feet are you wanting? I can check my stash for you. I might have a darning or quilting foot, zipper foot etc. Can you take a photo close up of the one on it and post it? If I have any I will send them to you.

Searchable by model number-looks like hundred of manuals

That's a beauty you've got there!
