Miriam, are you saying that the 401 stitches decorative stitches without cams? I thought all the 400's and 500's had to have cams to stitch decorative stitches? My 503a won't even stitch a straight stitch without the '0' cam. I know the 401 and 501 are the top of the lines for that series of machines. Nancy You should keep a cam in the machine , helps to keep the doohicky that the cams go into from getting stuck. I had a 503 for about 6 months and really liked it. I gave it to a new sewist that I was teaching and she just loved it. Sharon W. in Texas Nancy, I just had that discussion w/the OSMG this past weekend. That decorative stitching is built into the 401A and you dial to 'Special feature', when you want to use the other cams. I thought like you that the cams were need. Nancy |

You'll have to shorten the belt, they are too long when you buy them. Here's more directions on the Treadleon website. http://www.treadleon.net/sewingmachi...eadlebelt.html Also a youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIGuctAaRDc Sharon W. in Texas |

I find this post amusing. Anyhow, it will all be free by end of week. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/atq/2439924460.html items. What is with today's parents??? Why can't they just say NO!!!??? OMG somebody go rescue that machine before she throws it out.(shakes head several times) :roll: |

Then I tried to trade her a 401 and she said NO WAY. She named the 503 Margaret after her grandma. DIL said "She is old and missing parts but she still gets things done." And she says "She was very fashionable in her day." The machine or the grandma??? Gotta love that gal!!! I keep giving her cams and a buttonholer for gifts. She quilted her old child hood t-shirts together one day and was so excited.
