Quick overview
Your sewing machine’s Model Number identifies the design and features, while the Serial Number is unique to your specific unit. Both are needed for repairs, parts replacement, and warranty registration.
Common places to check
Many machines have a Sticker or Plate on the back or bottom of the unit.
Some brands place the label on the side of the machine arm or near the stitch selection area.
Check under the removable bobbin cover or case for labels.
Documents may list both Model and Serial Numbers.
Examples & formats

Troubleshooting if you can't find it
- Check the back, bottom, or side panel carefully.
- Inspect under the bobbin case or removable covers.
- Look for labels near stitch selection or arm area.
- If still missing, check your purchase receipt or warranty card.
What to do with the numbers
- Register your machine online for warranty and service support.
- Provide both numbers when requesting parts or scheduling repairs.
- Keep a photo of the label for quick reference.
- Use the model number to download the correct user manual.
🧠 Tip: Sewing machine serial numbers are usually 8–12 characters long and may include letters and numbers (e.g., BR12345678). Models often include brand and series (e.g., Brother CS6000i, Singer 4423.)
🔒 Privacy & Safety Note
Do not post your serial number online — it’s unique to your unit and may be required for warranty or support verification.
