    That's the sizes of the cams and which machines they go with, I found that one. I skipped a lot of pages though.

    I was thinking one just for the Kenmore cams with the part number and the stitch it does. There seems to be a LOT of them.

    That would be tough for me - I fix more than I sew, so I'd have to look up most stitch names! As it is, half the time I end up using stretch and utility stitches as decorative stitches.

    The Bernina 1031 has a stitch that kinda looks like a slanted blanket stitch. I used it for machine applique for years.

    Elna cams 148, 150 and 152 (slanted) make a decent blanket looking stitch. I often use the built in blind hemmer and run the fabric through the machine with the bulk under the arm. It looks like a blanket stitch if you you aren't too particular. Miriam,I used it on raw edge applique by using Wonder Under first. The flowers on my daughter's quilt have not frayed and it gets heavy use and laundering. I'm using the built in blind hemmer now on fleece blankets and people are liking the slightly scalloped effect. I've also done scarves that way with good results.

    And the dog one! Though I'm out of luck if they were specific about breed...

    IrishRose2, I will keep an eye out for an elna then. I do like their stitches once they're cleaned up and properly maintained.

    Okay I'll play. I can't remember what machine it is but there is one that has a cam that makes a rat or mouse.

    Sharon,

    The 930 has that one too. We'll probably give it a try.
