1962 Singer Model 362 FashionMate ZigZag Sewing Machine. Fully Restored With PDF Manual

Description

Circa 1962. A Revolution in Sewing! The Singer FashionMate, the sewing machine wonder of the century!

This sweet vintage machine from SurrenderDorothy has been Refurbished and Rebuilt in our workshop from the inside out. She runs just like the day she was built.

This is a general use domestic machine and will stitch anything from mid-weight leather and denim to fine silk with a stitch range from 6 to 30 stitches per inch.

This handy gal features a foot control, straight-lock stitch, four width pattens in zig zag, four width patterns in point stitch. Forward and reverse, thread cutter, bobbin winder, 3 position needle settings. She'll hold any size needles between a size 8 to a size 22.

The outer case is plastic, but the mechanism of this belt driven gal is all metal; all steel precision gears and drive shafts and encased in a cast iron frame and table. This machine is built like a tank and runs just like a top.
There's a bit of chipping along the needle plate and a few scuffs here and there... She's an older lady and bears a few marks of time. This is still a beautiful machine and comes ready to go in her original carrying case.

I highly recommend this user-friendly machine to any newbie seamstress. She's a pretty much newbie-proof. This is the same model top-shelf quality sewing machine purchased by the hundreds of thousands by High Schools for Home Economics classes all over the USA during the Kennedy-Johnson Era.

For the same price as one of those horrible-tear-your-hair out new plastic nightmares from Walmart you could be driving this lovely carefree vintage dreamboat instead!
This machine weighs about 38 lbs.

I just wanted to help you rest a little easier about shipping. Certainly there are always risks shipping through the mail, but we've been shipping machines for a good long time and have yet (knocks on wood) to have one arrived damaged. We use USPS and found them to be about twice the cost of UPS and Fedex and well worth the extra cost. USPS is the very safest way to ship we've found.
We're very very thorough about making certain the machine is secure and fully padded inside it's shipping box with rigid construction foam insulation. When you get the box you'll find the machine is wrapped again inside it's carrying case also so it doesn't bang around inside the case and break it's outside motor against the carrying case itself... We don't mess around!

Price includes a PDF instruction manual. We offer domestic shipping via USPS within the 48 Continental United States only.
We regret that do to the very high costs of international postage we cannot offer shipping out of the country.
