The Japanese had just as much to do with the designing of, or engineering of if you will, of the mechanics of sewing machines as anyone else from the 50s on. They took the 15 class system and ran with it. As far as I'm concerned, by the late 50s Japanese machines were being better designed and built than any Singer machine and they only continued to get better. If that weren't true, Janome and Brother wouldn't be where they are today.

I agree!! If it weren't for an amazing cache I found, my Japanese machines would by far be the bulk of my collection.

Somewhere I have a clone of a Singer 128 badged Remington. The ones I've seen have a lever for stitch length or maybe reverse, I don't remember what it does but it has been there on the ones that were cloned.

Just the stitch length. Under the hood it is a 66. I could only wish it was a 201. This machine needed a fair amount of tech work since some things were never set up right. It is from occupied Japan.

I had a hard time seeing if this link was on here - it is all about tension
