Dressmaker Sewing Machine
#1
I have an "old" Dressmaker sewing machine manufactured in Japan. I got the serial number off of it but I cannot find any info about it at all, I have tried several different search methods. Do any of you know anything about them?

hmm, I'll look again. I just can't find "anything" about Dressmaker except some low end models made here in the U.S. This one states made in Japan and is "all" metal, no plastic on it anywhere. It has just been sitting under my table in my sewing room for about 20 years and I got it out today to see what I could learn about it.

Hi Lisa, I have maybe the same machine. I got it a couple of years ago and found a site to order the manual. I have no extra accessories but it sews ok with a straight seam. It is a bit slow on the uptake, so I may need to replace the motor at some time. This machine is simple so pretty and such fine craftsmanship and in perfect shape! I haven't had much time lately to really check it out since we recently oiled it and placed it in a nice deco cabinet. Mine is a pretty light aqua color. I don't have much other info than that at this time.

I had a dressmaker about 20 years ago I bought it new, from one of those guys that goes around selling a bunch of close out machines. I loved it, and it worked really well, but one of the kids dropped it...never worked again. Mine was white and all metal.
