Today's Thanksgiving Day post will be on the topic of the mythical Pink Atlas Sewing machine. The Pink Atlas sewing machine is a 1950's industrial strength type of home sewing machine. The best part about this sewing machine is it is PINK.

Hope you can see that in the font colors. The machine has one of the early external thread tension buttons, spools or knobs(?). You can hopefully see it there in the picture about 1/2' above the needle - a little silver tone round knob. I do not own this machine.

The Pink Atlas sewing machine is super sturdy made of steel and other heavy duty components. It is a straight stitch machine. The Pink Atlas sewing machine weighs about 40 pounds or so.

Isn't it divine? From what I understand, the Singer Slant-O-Matic 500A Rocketeer will sew about 30 different stitches using combinations of settings and metal cams, besides the basic straight stitch and zig-zag. Sells her machines on eBay and below is a link to her YouTube video explaining all about the Singer Slant-O-Matic Rocketeer sewing machine that she had for sale in the past. For NiftyThriftyGirl's GREAT explanation about the Singer Slant-O-Matic Rocketeer model 500A.

What you really should think about investing in, if you are a free spirited sewist, is a spoked wheel attachment and a hand crank. These after market parts are made in China. They are not as smooth and nicely machined as original Singer models used, but they do work for most any sewing machine that has an external motor. Even though the motor is internal in the New Home SS-2015 - I'll just see about that! My first experiment was to turn the hand crank wheel on the right side when the power was completely off.

I was later able to remove the matted threads nest I had created below the needle plate or in the bobbin area. If you don't want to go to the trouble of converting an existing mechanical sewing machine, (this won't work for the computerized models obviously, because there is no way to select your stitch without electricity nor can you change the stitch length or needle position, among other settings), is to just buy one of the beautiful antique treadle or hand crank sewing machines such as this Singer 66 model or 'Red Eye' shown below without its table. I believe this machine is a treadle sewing machine. If you do buy one of the antique sewing machines BE SURE you have a wooden base for the hand crank model or, in the case of a treadle sewing machine, a treadle sewing machine table for it. It won't sew otherwise as there are gears and things on the underneath side that need to have empty space to work freely. You can find the Pink Atlas Sewing machine on Etsy.com, eBay and other places. You can find the hand crank and spoked wheel after market attachments on eBay and other places on the internet.

You can find the antique Singer and other brand sewing machines in either treadle or hand crank models on Etsy.com, eBay, flea markets, swap meets, garage sales, Estate sales, Craig's List, Antique shops and many other places. Be sure to pick up a manual for your machine. If you don't have a manual or, like me, you lost yours, you can get one here from the following sellers: Also on the sewusa.com website you can click on your sewing machine's manufacturer and, for some of them, they also include the service manual. This booklet can be invaluable. The pricing on the sewusa.com website is slightly lower, but not by much. Or you may find sewing machine manuals in other places or eBay and Etsy.com.
