I bought this little portable zigzag machine in 2008. Earlier models of the Swing ‘N’ Sew actually had the mod 60’s flowers painted on the outside of the case in retro avocado green and gold or red and blue.

Here it is with the sides closed ready for carrying to a sewing event. Visit the Gift Shop if you’d like to purchase a reproduction copy of the Swing ‘N’ Sew 3 sewing machine manual.

A back view of this compact little machine reveals the convenient carrying handle and the retractable spool pins on the top.

The flaps are held shut with magnetic closures. They can be removed by pushing the spring-loaded hinge to the left.

I found a matching orange Wilson Wil-Hold sewing box in which to keep the manual, foot controller and cord, and accessories. I love these sewing boxes from the mid-century and have a large collection of them.
