Editors notes:
This is a recreated version of an original scan from a "New Home 535" sewing machine.
All artwork is original, however for clarity some of the overlaid lettering has been replaced with clearer versions. No
changes were made to the actual letters and numbers referenced in the document.
I attempted to keep the document as original as possible; however there have been a few minor spelling
corrections.
For a history of New Home and Janome, please see Appendix B.
As I find which parts are compatible with this machine I will update the document. Appendix A contains the list of
the compatible items.
If you have information on this machine that would be a good addition to this document, feel free to email me to

Also a very important note:
I have created this manual out of a desire to ensure that old serviceable machines get the support that they need. It
was provided to
"Don Tai"
for distribution for free. If you have paid for this version of the manual demand your
money back! This manual should, would, and will always be free of charge!
