Kenmore 4 Stitch Sewing Machine 158.1110181 Heavy Duty, 1 Full Amp- Works Great!

This is a great vintage sewing machine from Kenmore. It was actually made by Janome. This is a mostly metal machine and is a real workhorse. It has a stitch width dial on the side and a stitch length dial as well as a reverse. It is a straight stitch and zigzag machine. This machine is very easy to operate and easy to thread. It has a rotary bobbin system and uses a size 15 standard bobbin. The machine has a built-in bobbin winder, which is metal, not plastic like so many of the machines today. It also has dual thread spools for two needle sewing using a twin needle. You can actually sew with two colors at the same time. It comes with the foot pedal as well as two extra bobbins, two extra needles, a tape measure and a seam ripper. It also includes the foot pedal. This is a free arm machine that allows you to remove the extension table and then you can sew circular items such as cuffs and sleeves. This machine was made in Taiwan. It is mostly metal, and has a full one amp motor. This machine will easily handle fabric, such as denim, canvas, multiple layers of quilting, and even leather if you use a leather needle. This is a very nice basic machine and would be suitable for a beginner or a seasoned sewist. This is a no fuss, very reliable machine. It is very clean and was well taken care of. It has been cleaned and oiled and is ready to go!
