Nope, I found it. It is a Singer 600. Mine doesn't have the knob on the bottom right.

Thanks. I ran out of fusible web, so I hadn't finished them at the time. I have done a little more work on them now. I have finished putting the rest of the unfinished heart on and stiched them down with gold thread. I will post a new pic when I finish it.

Thanks for the link to sewing machine manuels. I lost mine in a move somewhere. Contacted Sears and they wanted $49.95 plus shipping for one. This is much better. Thank you again.

If it's like the Sears I had with cams, you need to tighten the stitch length to nearly nothing, and leave it fairly wide. I used to practice on the tearaway (you are using stabilizer, right?). Adjust width back down, til you get the look you want.

Once I had the perfect setting, I would write the settings on the sample, and add it toa sheet I kept in the cam box.

Not at all. The squares are two pieces stitched up the middle, then two heart pieces ironed on with fusible web and then later (after this picture) stitched down.

I wasn't using stabilizer, just a piece of fabric folded in half. But I will play around some more with it. Thanks for the info.

I haven't ordered a manual yet. I have thought of a couple more places to look first. But in the meantime, I tried what you suggested about the stitch length and it did make a difference. But I still am not seeing any difference when I change cams.. ??

I am not familiar with stabilizer, since I have never tried any of these fancy stitches before. What is it for and does it go on the front and get torn off or on the back?
