For sale is a vintage ‘Omega’ straight stitch sewing machine. Made in Japan, likely in the 1960’s. All the mechanisms are metal, no plastic gears or linkages to be found. This makes for an incredibly reliable machine that can plow through almost anything you put under the presser foot. It can perform an abnormally long stitch which looks great on heavier projects such as bags or upholstery. It features a drop feed dog switch which allows for quick changes from regular——>light fabric—>free motion sewing. It can sew in reverse. Built into the sewing table is a knee controller which takes the stress off of your ankle!

Machine folds down into table for fast and convenient storage. When closed (last photo) the table top measures 22” x 17 3/4”. Height is 30 1/2”.
