I just came home with a similar machine… only a White. Came with accessories… but no footpedal. Any suggestions on where I might find one? Any direction would be tremendously appreciated!!!

P.S. As a quilter too… I will be sure to check out your other blogs and website!!!!!

Hi. I have one identical, except mine does’t have the original motor like yours.
is “modern” the brand?
is it posible to get the users manual for this unit?
do you know how old is it? I’d like to know.

I’ll thank you if you share me information about your beauty sewing machine.

Hi Sara, mine didn’t come in a wooden box. It was sort of a white case with a nubby texture over it and the base matched the machine (I think). I got rid of it while back because it didn’t look that great, and Iike the machine sitting out in my studio. Yours sounds nicer.

I think you have the twin of my machine, only mine’s in the wood box… Since they look rather similar, I would be willing to bet they’re about the same age, and mine was my husband’s grandmothers, bought either in ’50 or thereabouts.

The wiring can be fixed – my husband did it to the one we have – so that it’s not a hazard.

Dear Carmen,
I have a machine identical to the one in the picture on the top of the page except my name plate says ” MODERN HOME” . It is still in the base like yours but my wires are still attached. The top wire is for the plug and the lower wire is for the foot pedal. I certainly hope this was some help.
