Do you have a dressmaker 2042 manual. I need some parts and I want to refurbish the one I just got. It is very rusty and has some parts missing. I'm not sure which ones.

Service manuals are very difficult to find as they were not intended for the general public's use. Sometimes you can find them for sale on eBay and other auction sites. If you also search for the machine's parts diagram, you will find some helpful information.

dressmaker sewing machine manual

If this offer is still good i desperately need a 2402 manual !! thank you so much
Victoria

if you still haven't found one, reply to this thread. I have one as a PDF that I just bought for $5 that I'd be willing to share (this goes for anyone who finds this post, too)

Is it a Singer or White sewing machine?
They have a free to download manual for the Dressmaker 2400 on the Singer website.
They don't have any manuals for other Dressmaker model numbers.

Just type Dressmaker into the search box and click on search.
On the next page click on free download!
Hopefully, it will be similar enough to your machine to allow you to thread it and get sewing.

This is the threading diagram.
