Pattern Cams

These are fitted into or on to machines to enable them to make fancy stitches. You need the right type..
Page updated, rebated, inspected, selected, and made to jump up-and-down a lot, November 2024
PLEASE NOTE - although I am very fond of cams, I'm not really an expert, and sometimes you just need to do your own research. There are good groups on Facebook for such, and a lot of good information. If I don't list them here, I really, really haven't got them...

Individual Cams


CAM046 Singer Flat Cams (Type A, for 238, 240, 248, 258, 306, 316, 319, 320, 328, 338, 348, 358, 360, 368, 418, 477, 478, 514, 518, 538, 818, 838, 1730 and 1800 machines and others)

Oh, dear, these next ones are indeed a rabbit-hole down which to fall
Singer black "top hat" cams come in two basic types, which I will call CAM048a (Earlier types, for Singer 401, 403, 411, 431, 500, 501, 503, 600, 603, 620, 628, 635, 638, 648, 650, 670, 680, 690, 700, 720, 740, 750 and 758 models)
and CAM048b (Later type, for Singer 690, 700, 758 and possibly others...)

Hold on a minute, though, these early ones come in three distinct types, and from France, USA, and No-where-in-particular. And they vary very slightly in configuration...
Sigh

So, look at what you have and try to pay attention. No returns on these if sent abroad, so make absolutely sure you get what you need
And should you wishto fall further into this particular rabbit-hole, here's an interesting page...
