Does anybody know what size needles an 'Electro Hygiene' sewing machine uses? Can you see the reverse lever?

Miriam. I think your sewing machine made in Japan and distributed by Royal Vacuum, Dayton and it should take a 15x1. My research so has not found much more than this so far.

Yes it is badged. Royal Vacuum gave it the name and sold as theirs. I like the name to. Royal Vacuum also had one called the Electro-Grand sewing machine.

Maybe they put the tag on the sewing machine instead of the vacuum cleaner.
Maybe they had too many tags that said 'electro hygiene' and were just using the same tag.
I wonder if I can get the tag off... LOL it's just sort of a sticker.

Laura, the ones you used, were they for ceramics? I noticed that all of the decals from your supplier on Ebay were for ceramics.

Did you find the decals to be a little on the dull side? ~Stupid Question, if heat makes the colors pop, is there a way to heat the decals up either before or after they are applied to get full color without damaging the paint or any other heat sensitive parts on a machine? I think your Californian came out nice. Good Job!
Steve, Have you used these decal sets before? Those look great and complete. If so, can you post a picture of your results with them too?
Thanks a bunch.
