Kenmore / Janome Sewing Machine Model 385.15008100 W/ Pedal, Accessories, Works!

This is a wonderful sewing machine by Kenmore. It was actually made by Janome and is the 385 series machine, specifically 385.15008100 . This machine was made in Taiwan and it has so many wonderful features. I have been servicing machines for over 25 years and the Kenmore 385 series has always been one of my favorites. It has several built-in stitches and is very easy to operate. You simply turn the dial to get the stitch you want. It has a needle position setting, which allows you to center the needle or move it to the left. This machine uses a standard rotary bobbin system. It has a one amp motor. Another great feature on this machine is the hinged light compartment which allows you to change the lightbulb and oil without having to get out any tools. It has a built-in accessory tray, which you remove to make it a free arm to allow you to sew, circular items such as cuffs and sleeves. It has a handle to make it easy to take on the road -it also has a built-in thread cutter and a built-in bobbin winder. The bobbin winder on this machine is metal, not plastic that easily break.. The thread spool holders collapse down for safe travel. It has a dual thread capacity, which allows you to do two color sewing when using a double needle, also called a twin needle. In addition to the foot pedal and electrical cord, this machine comes with extras. It has an accessory tray, and inside is a machine screwdriver, a tape measure, a seam ripper, a needle threader and an extra bobbin.
