Short description the main characteristics of foreign sewing machines manufactured in the 50-80s that ended up in our country. As well as a list of old models of Soviet-made sewing machines.
Separately, a review is given of old antique models of sewing machines of the Singer type, produced at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century.
This material will be useful to you when buying a used one. sewing machine.
Antique Singer typewriters
Almost all models of vintage antique cars already produced on a mass scale had not only a standard appearance, but also a similar device. This is due to the fact that the patent for the production of this model sewing machine belonged to the Singer company. And, despite the different names of cars, for example Afrana (photo), they were all produced in those days only under a Singer license.
Such models of sewing machines have long worked out their resource and are of no value as a sewing machine, as a production tool. Only lovers of the retro style of the now fashionable direction of interior design may be interested in them, and then only if they are in such a satisfactory condition.
Such machines have a shuttle of an outdated design. It was used in the first editions of sewing machines.
Most often, such rare cars are in a very worn condition and many of its components and mechanisms can no longer be repaired.
But, nevertheless, there are instances that still work properly. True, it should be noted that the quality of sewing on these machines is quite low and many modern fabrics do not even need to be sewn on it.
If you need more information or car repairs, see Singer Antiques.
Italian sewing machine Borletti
The sewing machine of the Italian company Borletti is a rather rare sewing machine company for our country, but worthy of attention. Look at the photo, despite the release of this model in 1966, it looks quite modern. In addition, she has an excellent folding table. In addition to the zigzag stitch, there are a number of other types of stitches. The choice of stitch is determined by the installed copier (plastic round inserts). Naturally, the machine has an electric drive, a good reliable pedal and a convenient and strong case for transportation or storage.
Chinese sewing machine Buterfly
This model of the sewing machine is practically no different from the Podolsk sewing machine. Runs just one line. The main difference is that the tail of the bobbin case is turned to the right.
The first models of sewing machines - Chaika 2
The Seagull sewing machine has not only many models, but also series. This photo shows Chaika - 2, one of the first series of this brand. She performs only two lines - a straight line and a zigzag. There are no curly lines. It is rather inconvenient to perform backtacking, since this machine does not have a special reverse lever. Nevertheless, the Chaika 2 sewing machine is more reliable and better assembled than subsequent series.
Sewing machine Chaika 132
A more modern machine Chaika 132 already has a separate reverse lever, handy device for winding the lower thread and a different appearance. Otherwise, it is not much different from the Chaika-2 sewing machine, since it also does not have curly stitches, except for a zigzag.
Pretty good model among the varieties of sewing machines such as Seagull.
Brands of old sewing machines - Csepel
Csepel is a Hungarian manufacturer of sewing machines.
This model Csepel - 30 is similar to the lockstitch machine of the PMZ plant. Unremarkable ordinary old model.
Jaguar sewing machine
Mini Jaguar is a fairly common model of a sewing machine that performs a zigzag stitch. Appeared in our country in the early 90s and almost all have a lot of wear.
There are a lot of shortcomings in this model of the machine. A miniature electric drive, a rather fragile pedal, and most importantly, many components and gears are made of plastic. Difficult to repair and set up.
Adolf Knoch sewing machine
The Knoch sewing machine was made in Germany. German engineers are considered the founders of the design of sewing machines. Therefore, and for a number of other reasons, German sewing machines are considered reliable and of high quality.
This model of the Knoch sewing machine performs only one line. Despite the fact that it has a more modern look and a modern device for winding thread on a bobbin, it is quite simple and not suitable for sewing modern knitted fabrics. The price of such a machine in perfect condition, fully equipped and operational ranges from 1500-2000 rubles.
Brands of old sewing machines - Kohler
Another version of the German sewing machine. In the old days, such equipment cost as much as a car now, but in our time such old, morally and physically obsolete specimens can only be of interest to a schoolgirl doing homework assignments for labor lessons.
Sewing machine Kohler Zick-Zack
This Kohler model is already called Zick-Zack, as it is capable of performing not only a zigzag stitch, but also a number of other curly stitches.
Quite an interesting model of a sewing machine. Not only does it perform many stitches, it also has a number of unique settings for thread tension and needle position (offset).
Even the foot models of the Kohler Zick-Zack sewing machines have a built-in light.
In good working condition, the price of such a machine can reach 3 thousand rubles, but no more. Any old sewing machine, even in perfect condition, cannot be expensive. Morally and physically, they are so outdated that they may be of interest to people who begin to learn to sew or are very constrained in their means. Give it to those in need, and your kindness will return to you with a vengeance.
Lada sewing machine is a very good machine. And this is due to the fact that it was produced only for export. The name Lada is a symbol for a series of sewing machines Chaika, produced for sale abroad.
Despite the fact that this particular model is quite old, it performs a zigzag stitch, has a built-in lamp and a number of other advantages.

This is necessary when adjusting the lightning. Very handy removable table.
Sewing machine Malva made in USSR
Mallow is a complete analogue of the Seagull sewing machine. Sews two stitches - a straight stitch and a zigzag stitch.
Brands of old sewing machines - Minerva

Italian sewing machine Necchi
Necchi is an Italian company that has been manufacturing sewing machines since 1924. This Necchi sewing machine model (photo) performs two types of stitches: a straight stitch and a zigzag stitch. Very interesting, original design, but in the event of a breakdown, it is almost impossible to find spare parts.
Radom is a brand of Polish sewing machines
This model of the Radom sewing machine resembles the Chaika 2 sewing machine in terms of its capabilities and device. But the build quality and reliability of the parts surpass the Chaika, which makes the Radom machine more reliable and durable.
This Radom model also performs a zigzag stitch, but its design is very outdated.
Veritas Rubina made in GDR
The Veritas Rubina sewing machine is a very good machine in every respect. She has a modern look, electric drive, light. Lightweight plastic body makes it easy to carry. Performs many lines, including the buttonhole operation. Many interchangeable legs and a convenient reverse motion lever (backtacks). High quality stitching without gaps
The only drawback is that the country of the GDR that produced Veritas Rubina has long been gone, and it will be very difficult to find spare parts for it.
Models of old sewing machines - Singer
Of all the models of used sewing machines sold in our country, Singer sewing machines, manufactured in the early 90s, can be especially distinguished. Reliable, high quality machines. All parts are made of metal, as evidenced by its weight. But there are also disadvantages.

Sewing machine Union made in USSR
The Union sewing machine is similar in appearance and design to the Podolsk sewing machine. Its only difference is that the Union series of sewing machines was intended for sale abroad.

Painting of a sewing machine near Zhostovo
Once, an old Singer sewing machine “sailed” into my grasping hands, in almost working condition.
Original ideas for using an old sewing machine in interior decor
The efficiency of the sewing machine was restored by 95% by me, in about three days of persistent picking of the mechanical part, after which it began to sew perfectly. The only thing that did not suit me was its appearance: the stand dried up and staggered on all its spiked joints, the paint on the case was chipped and worn off in many places, the chrome parts were scratched.
This is what the Singer sewing machine looked like before my creative intervention (mechanics removed). There is a certain angular-monogram ornament of Art Nouveau style all over the body. In general, the ornament is built in the "Ra-symbolism": the sun, the sphinx, lotuses, wings - a stylization of the Egyptian style.
I thought just a little, about a month or two, and decided to give my Singer a look worthy of his status.
Preparation for painting was complex and lengthy. I immediately gave the stand to the carpenters I knew, who immediately smashed it, sanded it with high quality and reassembled it. It turned out that the stand was made of mahogany, nothing else. I planned to simply paint the stand in a more dark color, toned with stain, however, when I covered the tree with one layer of varnish, I realized that the color was already perfect without toning.
The machine itself had to be scraped down to bare metal for a long time. All the old paint along with the primer had to be removed. Several types of sandpaper, knives and an awl for the most microscopic details and holes were used.
When the metal was completely free of paint, I wiped it down with acetone and applied two coats of automotive acrylic primer from a spray can. Each layer of soil was lightly cleaned with fine sandpaper very carefully. In the next photo, the body of the machine and all its other parts are already covered with soil. In order not to splatter the chrome and other parts that do not require painting, I sealed them partly with masking tape, partly with electrical tape.
It is best to paint on metal, even on a primer, with oil paints, and not on turpentine, but on a tee: oil, turpentine, varnish. Stylistically, the traditional Zhostovo painting on trays was most suitable for the surface and character of the product, where lush buds of a flower bouquet seem to emerge from a dark background.
The first painting run was unsuccessful. In the next photo, the original underpainting, which was washed off the next day, because this is not what I wanted.
And here is what you need.
And almost the same flower ornament on the stand, but with some differences.
Gilding has already been added to the painting on the stand. Zhostovo, although he uses gold in painting, but not in the quantities that I used. By the way, my gold is gold powder mixed with acrylic lacquer. Let's add gold embellishments to the ornament on the case.
Close-up:
After complete drying, the painting of the machine was covered with three layers of automotive acrylic varnish of the same series as the primer. Each layer of varnish, except for the last, was carefully cleaned with zero sandpaper (“null”) in the presence of water (wet sandpaper).
The stand is covered with PF varnish in a standard way for wood.
The photos show a brand new Singer assembled. It looks like it came off the assembly line this morning.
Well, actually, everything. My Singer sewing machine is painted in imitation Zhostovo style. The program is 100% complete. The result, to be honest, exceeded my expectations.
What is the future of the sewing machine?
I do not know yet, but most likely I will sell.

This “love story” started a long time ago, a couple of years ago. Once I had a job, thanks to which I visited almost all the restaurants in the center of Kyiv. In one very cozy establishment, I noticed that all the tables were made from old Singer sewing machines. I really remember this idea. And she lay in my head until the next meeting with a similar table, which took place in the city of Drogobich (Lviv region). Walking around the city, I went to the store of things handmade. It was very nice there. A lot of different very stylish and unusual things, and again ... a table from a sewing machine ... Then this idea was already firmly planted in my head, and besides, I infected my husband Kostya with it.
The search began for the machine, which, fortunately, did not last long. My great-aunt offered us to pick up her old sewing machine, which has been lying in her country house for a long time. A lot of time passed before we transported this “treasure” from Vinnitsa to Kyiv, then another six months, until we were ready to implement this idea. And we made the table itself in just 5 days and just fell in love with it!
How did we do it?
Step 1
They dismantled the table, threw out a completely outdated countertop and other parts from the typewriter. True, they left a box (we put it in it). All the details were washed in the shower, cleaned from a hundred years of plaque with a metal brush.
Step 2
Leg painting. Kostya took all the metal parts to the garage and painted them by hanging them on a wire.
Painted with wear-resistant paint 4 in 1. It turned out a very beautiful matte finish.
Step 3
Bought pine furniture board. Dimensions: 100 x 60 x 1.8 cm.
For painting, we chose the “Pinotex Interior” transparent paint and tinted it in a purple-burgundy color. This color is just right for the color palette that we have defined for the room. In addition, it is dark enough not to distract or irritate the eyes while working.
We decided to cover the tree with a roller, because it applies paint more evenly than a brush and does not leave streaks and furrows.
The tabletop has been painted three times. Between layers kept for 2-3 hours, although this paint dries almost instantly. The peculiarity of "Pinotex Interior" is that it does not leave a greasy layer, but is completely absorbed into the wood, since it is water-based. That is, the effect is obtained, as from a stain, but this paint, in addition to tinting, also protects the wood.
Here is such a velvety effect after a three-layer coating. But we decided to also cover the table top with acrylic varnish for reliability, since this sewing machine table will be complete computer desk, for which we will sometimes drink tea or coffee :) We were not sure that Pinotex would react favorably to spilled coffee. And the polish will hold up.
Step 4
Lacquering. Why did we choose acrylic lacquer? Firstly, because there is a child in the house, and even if you cover the countertop with oil varnish in the garage, you will have to wait a while until the unpleasant toxic smell disappears. Acrylic varnish is absolutely non-toxic. Secondly, it dries quickly and on the same day you can fix the table top. Thirdly, this varnish can be applied with a very thin, imperceptible layer, which was to our advantage, because we still wanted to preserve the velvety.
During painting, the varnish has a white tint, but then this effect disappears and the layer becomes completely transparent.
Step 5
Table marking for fixtures. We did it with masking tape so as not to stain the paint layer with a pencil (or something worse :)). Everything was measured, the location of the legs was determined.
Installed the tabletop in the right place.
Xenia actively helped :)
We put marks in the holes on the legs through which the old tabletop was attached. They will be clearly visible on the tape. According to the marks, we drill holes for furniture nuts.
After the holes are ready, you need to hammer furniture nuts into them.
You can also play with nuts: scatter them throughout the apartment, and then collect them together with the whole family. This lesson is suitable for taking a little break from the hard work on creating a table from a sewing machine :)
We fix the table top on the legs and the table is ready! This is what Costino looks like now workplace. True, now we have to fight for the opportunity to sit at the computer desk, because we only have one graphics tablet, and I really want to draw on it :)))
Ficus also clung to this love story, and, in my opinion, very successfully.
Now the modest Soviet chair is waiting for alterations. He will become a concise addition to the male workplace. But that's another story…
I remember that as a child, my grandmother had a special table in the house - a Singer sewing machine. It was wooden on top, and a sewing machine folded upside down under the tabletop, plus two openwork legs made of cast iron, a wheel on the side and a wide pedal at the bottom ... For the first time I learned to sew on just such a machine. It was later that electrical units appeared - more compact and modern, and, alas, no one needed such tables.
However, do not rush to throw such a rarity in the trash. A little time and fantasy - and old table from under the sewing machine can be transformed into rather unusual interior items. Here are some interesting ideas for inspiration.
1. The simplest thing that can come from the cast iron base of an old sewing machine is a great dining table. The heavy ornate bed will withstand even a fairly wide table top. How great it is to gather the whole family at one table and remember what happened before ...
2. A modern table for a computer or laptop is also quite a worthy metamorphosis for such a table. The so-called eclecticism. If you use a glass tabletop, then such a table will fit even into a high-tech interior.
3. Just a few strokes - and it turned out to be quite solid desk for creative people.
4. Perhaps the most elegant idea is a dressing table. A mirror can be placed on the hinged lid, and in drawers to store cosmetics and all sorts of little things.
5. Washbasin from an old sewing machine in the bathroom or in the country? Incredible idea! But very original.
6. Replacing the countertop instantly changes the shape of the old relic. This coffee table in the living room is simply unrecognizable!
7. Look how good these openwork legs from a Singer typewriter look in vintage or shabby chic interiors. I would love to turn my grandmother's old table into such a console for a vase of flowers. You just need to replace the countertop and repaint the cast-iron legs.
Many people remember the reliable Singer sewing machine. At one time, the German miracle of technology was the pride of any home craftswoman.
Having ceased to perform the main functions, the design will only interfere and take up space. Of course, you can immediately throw it away, or you can show a little ingenuity and make an elegant Coffee table from a Singer sewing machine with their own hands.
Required Tools
- Metal brush. We choose the option with a rigid, large bristle. The brush is useful for the initial cleaning of the surface from accumulated fat and machine oil.
- Cleaning agent. It will be needed to process and dissolve contaminants. Any solvent can be used. It is best to use a spray gun, as it allows you to evenly distribute the liquid over a large area.
- Bulgarian without a nozzle. The tool is powerful enough to remove the old layer of paint.
- Matte paint for a cast-iron bed from a sewing machine. It is most convenient to use an aerosol can, but ordinary canned paint will work.
- Decorative impregnation for wood. Applied to the countertop for better preservation and additional protection.
- Screwdriver. It is intended for fast tightening of self-tapping screws. You can get by with a screwdriver, but an electric tool will noticeably speed up the process.
- Self-tapping screws 4.2 x 19 mm. You can choose a gold-plated version and use as a decoration.
- Wide brush. paint brush with a soft pile will help to evenly distribute the impregnation over the surface of the countertop.
Necessary materials
- To make a coffee table from a Zinger typewriter, you only need a cast-iron bed and a table cover.
- The size of the cover is chosen arbitrarily, in our instructions it will be 1000 by 600 millimeters and 22 millimeters thick.
Assembly
- Separate the top panel from the legs of the sewing machine table. Usually it is mounted on four bolts, to detach it is enough just to unscrew them.
- After that, we begin the primary processing. Apply cleaner to the beds. Thoroughly soak the folds and corners, they often accumulate dust and engine oil. The main task of this procedure is to degrease the surface and get rid of persistent contaminants. Carefully go over with a brush with metal bristles and, if necessary, apply another layer of solvent.
- Finished with pre-cleaning Let's take care of the old paint. It is necessary to get rid of it with the help of a grinder with a special nozzle. Let's go through all the curls and corners of the legs, ideally old paint shouldn't stay at all.
- Degrease the cleaned metal and apply a new coat of paint. Spread the layer evenly over the entire surface, it is most convenient to use an aerosol can for this. In some cases, it may be necessary to re-apply, make sure that the paint lies well and move on to the countertop.
- After manufacturing, we cover the countertop with decorative impregnation. Usually a wide brush is used for this. Impregnation protects wood from rotting and external damage. Saturate the surface well, applying two to four coats.
- After drying the wood, we proceed to fixing it on the beds.
We put the lid on the floor and put the cast-iron legs on top. We find the mounting holes, they are located in the corners of the beds. Using a screwdriver and self-tapping screws, we connect the cover to the beds. This completes the main build process.
Labor and cost
Most of the time is occupied by the processing of the beds. You may need to work hard for several hours. Everything will depend on their initial state.
It took me about two hours to clean the surface of oil, old paint, re-degrease and apply a new layer. If the cast iron is heavily rusted, then much more time may be needed.
The assembly of the countertop and its fixing will take about an hour. The longest time will have to wait until the decorative impregnation dries, it usually takes up to twelve hours.
A bottle of solvent will cost about 100 rubles per 500 ml. Paint - 600 rubles and more, depending on the manufacturer. Tabletop from 300 rubles. The total cost will not exceed 1500 rubles.
Conclusion
This is how, thanks to simple instructions, you can assemble an elegant coffee table from an old Singer typewriter with your own hands. It will not cost you much, but it will please the eye and faithfully perform its work for many years.
Always pay attention to old, seemingly unnecessary things. With the right approach and proper skill, they can be turned into something amazing.
Hello dear readers! Probably everyone remembers the old foot sewing machines of the world famous Singer brand, at that time such a machine was especially popular with seamstresses, thanks to the bed with a footrest, which made it possible to significantly save on electricity, and was also famous for its ability to perfectly sew even the thickest materials. But time does not stand still, and now, years later, the old foot machine was replaced with a modern electric one. Someone simply disposed of foot machines, others dismantled and folded in the attic, but the third most resourceful used it in everyday life. Well, what can be done from an old sewing machine will be discussed in this review.
1. Tables for cooking in the kitchen and dining tables from the Singer sewing machine.
The perfect solution for the home is a kitchen dining table with a chic wrought iron base. The tabletop can be made of solid wood, as well as transparent or frosted glass. As for the base itself, you can simultaneously use two beds from identical sewing machines or separate one forged base, push the resulting parts closer to the edges of the table top, and between them fix a crossbar made of strong reinforcement, which will also serve as a footboard.
2. Dressing tables from an old sewing machine.
For dressing table you can leave the whole base entirely, i.e. not only the metal part, but also a wooden tabletop with side drawers and a hinged lid. To make the table look neater, all parts of the bed must be sanded and repainted in suitable color. And in the department with a hinged lid (where the sewing machine used to hide), place a plywood box lined with fabric, and fix a mirror on the lid itself from the inside.
3. Desktop.
In order not to unnecessarily spend money on buying a new desktop, you just need to make a wooden tabletop and fix it on the base from the old typewriter. The result is a chic workplace with an excellent forged base, at such a table you want to work in twins.
4. Table in the gazebo.
Great idea for a garden seating area, such a table will significantly transform the entire gazebo as a whole, and if you also make a similar bench for it, as well as a brazier, it will be difficult to take your eyes off. The table looks expensive and solid at the same time.
5. Small table.
In some houses in the corridor or hallway there are tables for small things (keys, cell phones, flower pots, photo frames), so why not replace the boring monotonous table with a more elegant one with an interesting metal base. Moreover, for its implementation it is not required special costs subject to the presence of an old foot machine. It is necessary to decide on the countertop (wood or glass), clean, paint the base, and, well, connect the base to the countertop.
6. Barbecue from the base of the foot machine.
A great idea for those who like to fry a kebab, and most importantly, a chic base is already ready, it remains only to order a cutting of iron from the carpenter under the upper frying box, then weld all the parts welding machine, sand and paint, wait until the paint dries and go to fry the barbecue.
7. Bench made of legs from a sewing machine.
An excellent solution is to create a base for a garden bench or chair from old sewing legs. Planks can be ordered from a carpenter, then all parts are connected, as well as painted or varnished.
8. A flower bed from an old sewing machine.
It is easy to care for such a flower bed, you do not need to bend over to thin out the plants or remove all the weeds, and it is convenient to water.
9. Washbasin from a bed from a sewing machine.
Another fresh solution is a washbasin on a bed from a sewing machine. The sink looks especially beautiful in the form of a bowl, mounted on wooden table top. The result is a set with a modern twist and a vintage twist, such contrasting pieces are now very popular.
10. Locker for jewelry.
A ready-made cabinet with various compartments and mirrors on the doors is fixed on the base.
11. Rack for bedspreads.
At night, the covers taken from the bed can be carefully hung out on a special rack, especially such a thing will be relevant in a children's room with several beds, so the kids will be accustomed to order. On the basis of the machine, a box with bolted beams is installed, on which linen or bedspreads are subsequently hung out.
