Description

A group for users and collectors of older Japanese made sewing machines.
Bright colors, trendy design and good craftsmsanship made the humble HA-1 movement (Singer 15) a good seller long after American manufacturers considered it obsolete.
Brother, Janome and others introduced Zig-Zag machines that had features and quality at prices that were nearly impossible to compete with.
Members are asked to keep posts on topic, post pictures of their machines and share information.



If you need a manual, check out our files section for manuals that will cover many machines.
