Paul’s sewing machines made in Germany

This page is ordered by age, and only includes machines made in Germany. A separate pictorial index includes all the machines I've ever owned.

Germany made many high-quality sewing machines. Many were copies of designs from elsewhere, notably of the Singer Model 12 family. Their copies almost always included technical improvemnts and refinements over the originals. Also, a huge number of toy machines were made in Germany.
