Lemair Sewing Wiki



Welcome to the Lemair Sewing Wiki
This is about Lemair-Helvetia sewing machines - an Australian brand imported from overseas, mostly from Brother, and assembled in Sydney for the domestic market of the 1950's to 70's. They are not just retro-design, historical curiosities but (mostly) dependable work-horses which are still being used by beginners and experienced sewers alike. A wiki of original research and links to material across the web.
