Help with Dressmaker SM

Most of these Dressmaker machines need cams to utilize the design stitches, which they have printed on the front, along with the number of the corresponding cam. The cams go into an opening on the top of the machine, which usually has a cover on it.=20

Many of these machines loose their cam sets over the years, unfortunately, and if that happens can only do straight stitching.

If this is a machine that takes cams and you have the cams, look for an opening on top of the machine where you can lift out the old cam and replace it with your choice.

If you need missing cams, try asking for them at a sewing machine repair shop. Or go on the internet and check under the manufacturer of the machine to find where to purchase needed cams.

People are selling cams on eBay all the time. Go to: crafts\sewing\sewing machines\ " " accessories.

Be sure to know your machine model # and other such details.
