Hello any and all readers. In February of 2007, I posted an article about wanting a pink atlas sewing machine. The article has been getting a lot of traffic and now two people have commented, offering to sell their pink Atlas machine. If anyone is interested, you can see the original post and the comments here:
As well, if you are interested, I am now offering the instruction manual for the Pink Atlas sewing machine in my etsy shop The Home Gnome. This copy is a scanned copy and will be sent to you electronically!
Thank you for visiting! Due to quality issues, I have decided to stop offering the Atlas manual download. Here is a link to a well priced PDF of the Atlas sewing machine manual. Thank you again for everyone who has visited and purchased a manual. 🙂

Are you buying one?
I would love a pink sewing machine. If anyone has one please contact me asap:)
I have a pink atlas sewing machine that is in great condition. I found it at a garage sale and just fell in love with it. I am willing to part with it for $50.00. Please let me know if you are interested. You can also find manuals online for it for cheap through ebay or even scanned copies.
Thanks 🙂
Hi do you still have the pink atlas you’d like to sell? Can you email a couple of pictures and let me know any details, how it’s working, problems, etc.? Thanks!
I have one that is portable. Respond for pics. It is well used. Somebody really liked it for a long time.

I have a pink Atlas sewing machine that belonged to my brother. I am just now looking for some parts for it. When I searched on line I was surprised to see that other people actually still owned them.
Thanks for this article
I have a mint condition pink Atlas sewing machine with solid wood sewing table attached. Immaculate condition; curious of what estimated value would be. Thank you.

I also have a pink Atlas sewing machine with solid wood table attached. I am looking for a bobbin case, zig-zag plate and motor. Don’t have any idea of value.
Do you still sell copies of the Atlas Pink sewing machine?
I have a atlas sewing how much is it worth
It is a pink one in a wood table
I just bought a Pink Atlas Sewing Machine. I love its looks. It is missing some parts and don’t know if I should part it out for sale on Ebay or fix and keep. Would be interested in knowing its value if fixed up. Solid machine, very heavy.
You will find your bobbin case here. (link removed). Bought one yesterday from them for my wife’s “Pinky”. Have a great day.
My mom had a pink atlas while I was growing up. I enjoyed looking at it, may have used it once and would enjoy getting it back.. She gave it away years ago. I’m sure that it has provided many days of sewing pleasure for whoever has it.
I bought a pink atlas last year at a church yard sale for $10.00. It’s in pretty good condition. I’m going to have someone service it before I use it. Mine is in a hard carrying case. It’s very heavy like my old sears kenmore ( of which I gave to my niece to use.)
My mother gave me a pink Atlas Sewing Machine when I was young. It was about 50 years ago the machine is well conserved. What would be the present value? Would anybody will be interested? I have been very carefull with it. Let me know about. Thanks a lot.
I love sewing machines … especially those made before 1900..
My husband brought home a pink Atlas portable zig zag machine in great condition. Its the most modern machine in my collection and the only one that has Reverse! I love sewing on it but cant figure out how to get it to sew a straight stitch..I think Ive turned the knobs the right way and it starts sewing straight stitch but after a few stitches it slowly reverts to zig zagging. I know how to fix the old machines but not one this modern…it may not even need to be fixed just configured the right way and for that one needs the MANUAL.
Only one of the machines I have came with the original manual..all the rest didnt have one.
Hello, I have a pink atlas sewing machine in the cabnet and working just fine. I dont use it to much any more and would be willing to let it go to someone who would appreciates a good machine like this one.
Hi,
I know this is an old post, but if you still have your machine, please let me know. I love those old machines. Thanks!
I have the same cute pink sewing machine in the wooden cabinet /table. It needs a home with someone who will appreciate it!

I just bought a pink atlas sewing machine. I came home and plugged it in and it just started running without me pressing the pedal I can’t get it to stop! What am I doing wrong?
Brittney – that’s the beauty of an ol’ pink atlas sewing machine. Had mine for 40-some years. It’s a plug-n-play. And always seems to be a solid, dependable workhorse. Hums along sweet as chess pie with tidy stitches.
One solution is to check the plug box. If it is a carry case model, flip the machine up and check the plugs. There should be two plugins, one for the light that is always on and one for the pedal speed control, when switched the light will work with the pedal and the machine would run full speed when plugged in. If they are in the correct place then there is a chance that the previous owner either fixed the plug box improperly or intentionally wired it that way (dunno why some people do what they do). I had to replace the wires on my wife’s machine recently because they were too brittle and starting to fall apart. If yours were replaced, the one who did it might not have wired it back properly.
If that is not the problem, your pedal could be broken or not attached properly inside. If you turn the pedal over, the back will slide off so you can service the inside. There is a good chance that the tab is broken that makes the arm slide back and forth across the terminals for speed control. If that is the case, the cheapest and easiest way to fix it is to cut out a small rigid piece of plastic in the same shape. Sand, file or cut it to fit smoothly to the existing piece and glue it to the top of the material that is left. It is not the best fix but it will work and if you use a strong enough plastic (or thin metal if possible) it should last for a very long time. The other option is to hope to track down a new pedal for a reasonable price. Being a very unique machine the fix might be your best option considering most people are not willing to part with the machines and very few pink ones are being parted out for repair.
Those are the two most likely fixes for your problem if you haven’t fixed it already.
Good luck and have fun sewing.
Hi would you mind letting me know which webhost you’re using?
I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say
this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a reasonable price?
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Where can I get an instruction book?
