Joe,
Love the selection of stitches from the Alden ZZ machine. Very cool and impressive. Chris |
Chris,
That machine is one of my favorite Japanese ZZ machines. It's not overly simply, the controls are somewhat complicated but when everything gets set right it makes even more stitches than what I had on the felt sheet in the pic. I didn't have it totally figured out when I did that one. I've got my eyes out for a replacement left side cam stack though. They are plastic :( and there is a chip out of one pattern. That machine follows the cams so precisely that it actually shows the chip as regular repeating missing stitches. I doubt if I'll every find such a cam stack, but I'm watching for one. Joe |

I've lost count of the machines we have that do decorative stitches. Some with built in cams like the Aldens and Singer 401, 500, 4622A, and others with removable cams. We keep looking for others with different patterns too.
But the truth is I use my SS machines far more than the ZZ machines. Joe |

I prefer cams to cam stacks or electronics - they are usually a fairly simple machine.

I think I need them. I have a Dressmaker just like the one pictured and I don't have any cams for it. Would you advise. I want them it noone else has claimed them. Thanks. Please let me know.

I use to have a Kenmore in a cabinet that took cams,wish I wouldn't have given it away now.but I needed the room so I gave it to a friend that use to sew she just got rid of it even though she said she wanted it

Hi, Lynda,
I have just purchased Dressmaker 7000 from Goodwill. It came without cams... I would like to get these if you still have them. Could you please let me know? thank you. Elena |
