When I started buying and fixing up vintage machines my sister told me she would like one. I picked up one at my fav thrift store last week and when I started cleaning it I just knew I had found one she would like and be able to use easily. I am almost finished with it but I need a few more things to complete it.
It is a Wards Signature UHT J1277

If you have anything on my list let me know how much and shipping costs I would sure appreciate it.


low shank
1. button foot
2. zipper foot
3. Hemmer foot
4. Hinged presser foot

11 piece cam set and the manual says that the stretch cams are marked orange on the face.

Top tension/thread guide.

It is chrome and fits into the hole. I went ahead and sewed with it threaded as you see in the photos and it sews beautifully. Pictures are below to help identify what I need. I would really love to have a nice complete box of attachments for her ( probably not going to happen) so what is listed is what I think she would need and use the most.

It looks nearly identical to my Wards right down to the orange paint. The only difference I can see is yours uses separate cams and mine uses a built in cam stack for about 8 different stitches.

Looks like a nice machine for her. Perhaps you could try www.sew-classic.com and see if they have compatible feet, etc.

SunflowerZZ, I may be able to help you. Here is a photo of the set of side-clamp feet that I have. It shows all the items you listed, plus some, except the button foot which I also know I have somewhere. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks PM'D you.

Wow, you did a beautiful job on that machine. Hope your sister likes it, and gets lots of good use out of it.

Thanks JoAnn and to everyone and especially to lmc8. Now all I need is the thread guide on top of the machine but I think DH and I are just going to make a 'customized' one that we borrow from one of our parts machines. She will never know the difference. We still need the box of cams but I think I will send the machine to her anyway because it still does the zigzag and the buttonholes with the metal cam that came in it. In the meantime we will keep looking for the cams. I have the hardest time finding cams to go with machines . I have given strict instructions to myself in a very stern loud voice! NO MORE MACHINES UNLESS THE CAMS ARE THERE!!! Now if I will just listen to me....

Or you do like me, find the accessories and then start looking for a machine to go with them!

And along that thought - does anyone know what Signature machine these would fit? I picked them up about a year ago before I knew much about attachments.









The cams are on the small side. Most are plastic, but these two are metal- one marked zigzag and one marched stretch.



I'm not really looking for a machine that goes with them, I think it would be a bit newer than I'm after. If I buy a Wards machine it's going to be a National made one, so I don't expect I'll ever have a use for these.

Sorry, I don't recognize those cams. I do have two boxes of cams I have no idea what machine they go to either. I don't like either way of getting cams before the machine or cams after the machine, it is a big pain but there is joy when you can finally pair them up. Here are my two boxes of unknown cams.


I think the yellow box might be Kenmore B cams for 158-351? Model 35 Kenmore. Maybe. just guessing from this pic and the sales ad.
