401a Singer need cams
We were driving home the other day and by the side of the road was a sewing machine cabinet with a cord hanging out. DH made a U turn and I went back to investigate. There was a machine in it and we took it home. It was very dusty, layers of dust but no dirt, in almost brand new condition. This 401a sews beautifully, actually a tighter stitch than my Bernina. It has a cam that looks like arrows in it. My question is will this sew a zigzag without the O cam in it? I checked eBay and that particular cam is expensive and the other groups of cams sold do not include the O cam. I’m now on the lookout for cams. Any information is welcome. The funny thing is my ex-DH bought me this particular machine new in 1964. It had terrible tension issues. I sold it for $100 to my MIL years later.
