QUOTE=NapaJohn;6837046]Your machine is going to take the "C" type cams. The good news is that they are probably the most common type. Ebay or shopgoodwill.com are probably your best bets for finding them. Here is an example of what they look like from one seller on ebay (not mine):

I would recommend searching for "Kenmore Cam" on Ebay and scour for the best price+shipping charge. Some have outrageous shipping added on.
Here is a listing for a set on shopgoodwill:

Great price right now, but that site is popular with addicts, so the prices often escalate at the last minute.
Those cams come in four colors--light green, dark green, orange and beige. The largest and most complete set you'll find is a set of 30 in the green boxes. However, the multiple box sets include feet and monogrammers which likely won't work with your machine as it is a low shank and those sets are usually for a super high shank and I don't *think* yours has the mechanism that works the monogrammers.
The bad news is that you will need a zigzag cam to make zigzag stitches and if it is not installed on your machine, it might be more difficult to find as it's not included in those sets. Here's a picture of mine:

The Cam number is 1 and the part number on it is 26841.
You can find a (poorly scanned) free manual here as well as parts list:

One thing I did discover is that you cannot use the cams with the cam door open. The door is the release mechanism for the cams and the machine will stitch in reverse with it open.
Good luck with your new machine.
