Automatic Zig Zag Signature, model URR-988C
Serial numbers: Z4939627, 55X
She has been cleaned, oiled, tested and she's now ready for you!
Our sewing machine repair consultant worked for Singer for YEARS. He verified that this is a heavy duty / industrial grade machine, good for sewing denim, leather, etc for personal projects or as a cottage industry (not in industrial amounts). He said that in the sewing world, this machine is called a "clone" of the Singer 15 machine. At the end of WWII the US government gave the Japanese the blueprints to the Singer 15 sewing machine to help rebuild Japan's economy (and Singer was no longer making them). And the benefit is that these clones have upgrades from the original Singer machines - they run smoother and have extra features like reverse stitch, zig zag, an easy switch to raise and lower the feed dogs, as well as the chrome hand wheel instead of the painted ones that seem to get chipped. They are work-horses, and often quite beautiful like this one!
The strong 1 amp motor is great for any of your sewing projects like denim, thin leather and canvas, or for lighter weight dressmaking fabrics as well.
She zig zags, has reverse function, feed dog lowering for darning & free motion, and uses class 15 bobbins - easy to find!
She comes with 8 cams that are SO EASY TO USE - just move the zig zag lever to 5, pop one in, let go of the lever and start sewing.
Lots of extras are included as well as a zig zag sewing machine manual - the machine is SO similar to this one, but with knobs instead of levers- if you want the exact manual for this machine, it's easily purchased online for around $10.00. The one included shows the same threading of the machine and tension / pressure functions, feed dog lowering, same bobbins, how to use attachments, etc.
