    Question A vintage gift! Legacy from my grandma! Please help me identify?

    Hello everyone! Thanks so much for checking out my thread! My name is Dena and I'm a 23 year old who likes to make plushies and costumes.

    My mom recently gifted me my grandmother's sewing machine from circa 1970~1980. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the model? I'm pretty sure it's a Euro Pro Dressmaker, but I may be wrong.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me! Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this thread.

    Welcome from Mississippi!

    Don't know anything about your machine, but it looks like a golden oldie! Enjoy learning about it as you use it.

    Looks live a nice machine. I don't know anything about it, but there are a lot of photos of various Dressmaker machines on Pinterest. You might be able to find a photo of one like yours.

    I found this link showing some pictures of vintage Dressmakers: http://www.sewusa.com/Sewing_Machine...e_pictures.htm

    Your model isn't there :-(

    We have lots of discussions on "Dressmakers" in this board. I am scanning through quickly and haven't found your model yet. Hope you do! What a fun mystery to work on!

    There is a Dressmaker name on the bottom under dome of the controls.

    Thanks for the warm welcomes!

    I'm really excited to do more sewing now that I have a machine. I sewed a small face mask for my little sisters Halloween costume on it yesterday and it ran great once it had a little oil and I figured out how to thread it properly.

    Oh! Before I forget, I have something else to share. My momma showed me grandma's old White Rotary Sewing Cabinet the other day! I remember using this machine a little bit in high school when I was learning sewing machines because it was so simple.
