I purchased this incredibly heavy but very cool looking Morse Fotomatic III Zig Zag Sewing Machine at a yard sale for $10..It runs very smooth and came with a boatload of attachments. I think the machine was made around 1968 at the Toyota Factory!! Imagine that???

I had never heard of this brand before, but it was such a beautiful machine. I cleaned it up and it just shines! I think I will take it in for a tune up and find a table to put it in...I never knew that Toyota had made machines before??

I just have to find someone to service it before I steam ahead and sew with it...I have a portable sewing table in the basement that I think it will fit in!
