Does anybody know what size needles an 'Electro Hygiene' sewing machine uses? Can you see the reverse lever?

Miriam. I think your sewing machine made in Japan and distributed by Royal Vacuum, Dayton and it should take a 15x1. My research so has not found much more than this so far.

It's kinda cute - the name cracks me up. I haven't seen a reverse lever on one before. I'm thinking it's a badged machine.

Yes it is badged. Royal Vacuum gave it the name and sold as theirs. I like the name to. Royal Vacuum also had one called the Electro-Grand sewing machine.

Maybe they put the tag on the sewing machine instead of the vacuum cleaner.
Maybe they had too many tags that said 'electro hygiene' and were just using the same tag.
I wonder if I can get the tag off... LOL it's just sort of a sticker.

Thank you Laura. You too Steve. I like the prices on the ones Laura posted but the decals themselves from Steve.
Laura, the ones you used, were they for ceramics? I noticed that all of the decals from your supplier on Ebay were for ceramics. From what I read, the ones made for ceramics are kind of dull until they are fired in a kiln. The heat brings out the full colors then. Did you find the decals to be a little on the dull side? ~Stupid Question, if heat makes the colors pop, is there a way to heat the decals up either before or after they are applied to get full color without damaging the paint or any other heat sensitive parts on a machine? I think your Californian came out nice. Good Job!
Steve, Have you used these decal sets before? Those look great and complete. If so, can you post a picture of your results with them too?
Thanks a bunch.
