Isn't She Lovely! Sky Blue Singer 338

This machine came along in a different way than most of the others.  I bought it to add a splash of color among my collection of black and beige machines.  Yes, I bought it because it's so PRETTY!


The 338 is a tank of a machine, much like its cousin the 328.  These aren't the sleeky sports cars of the Singer line, but this is your sturdy reliable machine that will do the job with a minimum of fuss.  

FEATURES:

Horizontal oscillating hook with Class 66 drop in bobbin
Three needle positions (you can make 4-step buttonholes)
Takes twin needles
Enclosed bobbin winder
Presser foot pressure adjustment
Easy snap off needle plate - you can use zigzag or straight stitch plates 
Cover plate to bypass feed dogs for darning and embroidery
Unlike the 328, the power cord plugs into the machine (a BIG improvement!)


These are the eight "fashion disc" stitches that originally came with this machine. 
 These are the same cams used on the "Swing Needle" machines like the 306 and 319 - but they are hidden under a cam cover on this machine.  This machine makes a very nice stitch!

And isn't the twin needle stitching pretty, too?



It's a good, solid machine and sews well - and the color is easy on the eyes!
