With the cams you can do all of the same fancy stitches as the 401, and the 403 is a bit simpler to use, I think. The 401 just has more of the fancy stitches built in so the extra cams aren't necessary. The top hat cams can be found cheap if you keep your eyes open, some sellers are too high. Any of the black top hat cams will work, they aren't specific to a machine.
