This specific model represents a vintage electronic sewing machine manufactured by the Singer Company. A staple in many homes for years, it offers a range of features including various stitch patterns, adjustable stitch length and width, and often a built-in buttonholer. Machines of this era typically employed a front-loading bobbin system and offered a free arm for sewing cylindrical items like sleeves and pant legs.
Electronic models like this one provided users with greater precision and control over their stitching compared to older, purely mechanical machines. This facilitated more complex projects and allowed for greater creative expression in sewing. These machines represent a significant step in the evolution of home sewing technology, bridging the gap between basic mechanical operation and the computerized machines prevalent today. Their durability and relative simplicity make them popular with collectors and vintage sewing enthusiasts.
