Hello Janey & John,
Wow, there is the cam I am looking for! Mine looks like the first image, which is the wrong way for me. The other cam has bits that stick out istead of parts that are cut away, so I'm guessing this will be a mirror image. I shall try to purchase a 171340, but I'm pretty sure this is going to be a), difficult to find, and b), expensive. Luckily for me my husband is an engineer with his own workshop and he says he will make me one out of mild steel if I can't find one that is reasonably priced.
I can't thank you eough for your knowledge and time. I have been struggling for years with this stupid pattern disc and this is the first time I thought of asking the experts. What a prannet!
Anyway, thank you again.
Best regards
Christine
Post Script
I found one on Etsy and bought it!
It was in Australia, but the delivery costs were worth it. The patterns on the cams are beautiful and I use them a lot for decoration, but it doesn't matter what garment I make, it always needs a hem so this will make my life a lot easier.
Thank you once again X X
