Hi, I recently found a Dressmaker SWA 2000 and the hand wheel wouldn't turn easily for the entire circle. I discovered that the zigzag gear, a small white toothed gear was broken, i removed most of it, can't get to all of it, set the machine for 3 on the zigzag width so that the needle would be in the middle, and it sews a beautiful straight stitch, now, when I couldn't get it to sew at all prior to removing that gear. I have looked all over and cannot find a replacement for it, however, I believe that your gear has been removed which is why it only sews straight. I am wondering if you had a zigzag cam, if it would work, then. I am now searching for cams for this machine. Thanks so much
