Superb engineering at a "direct from the factory" price point!!
You can see at a glance that the SMD 760 series has been designed with a focus on ease of use and practicality.
What you can not see is that reliability and versatility have also been very much a priority. Hidden behind the latest contemporary 2011 styling are the same electrical and mechanical qualities and principles integrated into many of the much more expensive sewing machines on the market today.
By asking the designers to keep stitch functions to a minimum with no unnecessary and complicated features, you can be sure that you will receive an excellent return from your investment by way of enjoyable, reliable and stress free sewing for many years to come.
Designing and manufacturing quality sewing machines since 1948, the company selected to produce the SMD 760 series (Jaguar International Corp, Osaka, Japan) has a well established first class worldwide reputation to ensure future availability of consumables, parts, etc.
Simplicity really is the key. We hear our customers telling us time and time again what they want in a their new sewing machine - easy threading, basic sewing functions, adjustable length, adjustable width and reverse stitching.

• Automatic Tension
  Says it all really. Set the tension dial to AUTO and let your SMD761 adjust and select the perfect tension setting for a perfect locking stitch.

• Automatic Buttonholes
  Load the button into the buttonhole foot and the SMD761 will measure the buttonhole required, stitching it out to match the size of the button. Perfect buttonholes in seconds, each one an exact size of the other.

• Electronic Foot Control
  Allows you to accurately control the sewing speed. Even at low speeds, this new type of foot control generates less heat than conventional resistor type versions improving long term reliability.

• Needle Threader
  This feature is a real time saver. Engage the needle threader behind the needle and a small hook locates through the eye of the needle. The thread is then taken around the guide and the needle threader released. Result - a needle threaded in seconds.

• Seven Piece Feed Dog
  Combined with the Adjustable Foot Pressure below, this feature is central to the ability of your SMD761 to cope with extreme and bulky fabrics. Helps to produce perfect, evenly spaced stitches even when working with the most testing materials. Also allows you to sew from the edge of the fabric - ideal for patchworkers.

• Adjustable Foot Pressure
  Rather than just one "automatic" foot pressure, the SMD761 allows you to regulate the pressure down onto the fabric, making it much more versatile. Delicate lightweight fabrics can be stitched on the minimum setting, avoiding the possibility of marking the fabric. For heavyweights, turn the foot pressure to the maximum allowing the feed dogs to get maximum grip resulting in perfect even stitches.

• Auto Declutch Bobbin
  No need to manually declutch. Simply click the bobbin winder into position and the sewing mechanism is automatically released.

• Drop Feed
  For those who like to express their creativity with free hand embroidery. Drop the feed dogs leaving you in full control. Or use traditionally for darning.

• Free Arm / Flat Bed
  Use as conventional flat bed for general sewing tasks or remove the accessory box for free arm sewing, allowing you to easily sew sleeves, trouser legs or any "difficult to reach" areas. Use the accessory box to keep your presser feet, bobbins, needles, etc.

• Quick Release Foot Holder
  To change the presser foot, simply lift the lever and activate the button and the foot will detach. To attach the another foot, line the foot up with the foot holder and lower the presser bar. Easy!!
