Any help out there for a Dressmaker?
 
So I have been searching for a vintage zigzag sewing machine. I picked up off a yard sale line a nice clean little Dressmaker. I just don't know anything about it and my internet searches haven't helped. It only come with a presser foot for straight stitch. I sent a friend to the local sewing machine shop to find a presser foot and the one she brought back didn't work. the needdle was hitting the foot. It seems to have a high shank presser foot. The little metal plate on the side says Super De Luxe zig zag precision built. made in Taiwan. on the back side it has a sticker that says made in Japan? Just don't want to keep buying feet that don't work so hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

I found a manual for those machines on sewusa.com /sewing .That may tell you what foot to use

SewNewGirl,

Your machine does have High Shank feet. It also probably parks to the left on straight stitch. A correct HS ZZ foot should work on it. However you will need a left homing SS foot if your going to use SS.
Sew-Classic has some of these feet: { www.shop.sew-classic.com }

A focused picture of the two feet and needle plate would help a lot.
