Singer 478

Another Stylist model number 478. Singer was on a roll now trying to catch up with many sewing machine makers from around the world making more advanced sewing machines. Here we get cams (Fashion Discs) to use to make the stitch wanted. With the 478 we also get a straight stitch needle plate with a straight stitch presser foot. This setup is perfect for straight stitching. There is more to follow.
