Dressmaker Model S3000 Need Cams
 

I purchased this in a thrift shop. Took some time to get her running right. Does a great straight stitch. Am looking for Cams for it. Any suggestions, or should I just accept her as slightly disabled and use her for SS? I did find a manual from Sewingmanuals.com. This machine is a beauty, clean. I looked on EBay for cams, but the cams I could identify by the numbers (when I could See the numbers and pics on the dark cams) didn't match the diagrams on my machine. Any help would be appreciated. This is my 11th machine. I would post a picture but my hands are so shakey (as I am older) I can't get a good focus.

Jane,

I have a set of cams we cannot identify. There is no makers markings, or machine ID on them at all. Here's a pic:

I will try to import this into photoshop and see if I can get better images. Thank you. Will get back to you if there is a match.

Could not get enough details from your photo to indentify. I made some drawings of the designs on the machine, and could scan it and email to you and maybe you could look and see if any of these resemble those cams? Please let me know your email. I have a time getting photos loaded into this program. Am 77 and hand is shakey...

I looked on Ebay and they have some Dressmaker machines, none of them have the cams! LOL. I am seeing a lot of Dressmaker machines looking for their "babie" which are floating around somewhere in Never Can Find Land. Thank you for taking the trouble.

Jane,

Here is the full sized version.

If you want to PM me your email address I can send it to you that way as well. Does your owners manual show a picture of the cams? Those I have do, even if they are not really good.
If we do email addresses it would be easier for you to send me pics of your machine. And maybe a scan of the manual's pic of the cams.

Also #1, click on the pic to view the larger version.
Also #2, sometime today I'll take a macro pic of both sides of one of the cams for you.

Heres a pic, not too good, I am shakey.

I will have to look at the opening to make sure they would fit. Do you know where I could purchase some, even just a few?

Thank you so much for helping me. I really appreciate it. Am a little under the weather today, dizziness and problems walking. Am still recovering from Colon Cancer, but they did get it all they said. Thank you again Joe, you have helped so many on this board.

Jane,

Our cams came with the machine that came from a Goodwill auction. We will keep our eyes open.
Check your local thrift stores when you are able.

There's a set like Joe's on ebay...the case is maroon instead of white but the cams are the same. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Set-30-Dress...17%26rk%3D1%26

That's a good price, too, I think!!

I followed the link from path49 and am watching that cam set. Thank you so much. Yes, the pric eis good.

Hope you get it!

Hello janegb. This is a long time since you started this thread. Did you get a set of cams for your dressmaker sewing machine. If not, I have a set that look very similar to j miller's, with the exception that the graphics on the tops of the cams aren't red. They're all white and the case is purple.

Same set
 

Hey Joe,
I have the identical set as you. Did you find out if they go to the Dressmaker Model S3000 sewing machine?

I'm not Joe but I can tell you they don't. Joes cams I believe go to a New Home machine. The S3000 is a Taiwan made Dressmaker and uses a set of green cams, two layers in a smaller box, or the tiny little grey or white cams that come in 'D' shaped case depending on what pics you see in a google search and who you ask. We've been discussing the Taiwan made Dressmakers a lot in one of my FB groups and those machines can make you nuts looking for the right cams.
