Residing in this box are the myriad of cams that came with my vintage sewing machine (found about 3 years ago at a yardsale)...
Cams are plastic discs that create decorative stitching. They fit into a special compartment in the top of the sewing machine, you set the controls accordingly, and then sew away. I guess that modern sewing machines can be programmed to do stuff like this, but there is something really nice about the whole cam thing. It's kinda like having a box of everlasting chocolates.
Here are a few different stitch patterns that can be made. It's fun to play around/experiment with them...
This handy guide is from the underside of the box. So many possibilities...
I'll be choosing one of these to use on the quilt that I'm making, but which one???
