IMPERIAL Industrial Strength HEAVY DUTY Sewing Machine LEATHER

I repair sewing machines since 35 years! COMPLETELY REFURBISHED, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. Ideal for soft leather & upholstery, general sewing, alteration shops, etc. This is a classic one made by Imperial in the 50's in Japan, when high quality was a priority in the world. The arm and bed were made of pure, high quality cast iron. Pure raw materials were used to create beautiful and solid things at that time. The bed and arm were cast at the Eagle foundry in Japan. Believe me, an older sewing machine will outlast many new machines!

This IMPERIAL 15 is a very user friendly sewing machine. The strong metal mechanism will allow you to do almost any sewing project doing a very nice straight lock stitch with reverse. Be assured every single part of this machine was carefully inspected, cleaned and adjusted by myself on this machine. It was completely refurbished under the highest standards of excellence.
