  1. Hey wabbit, I got an 8mm Bernina with a decorative stitch mechanism, which is not the real thing, the decorative stitching is not sizable in stitching width. There is no cam that would do the 3-step zigzag with this dec-box called the Feston. The Feston turns twice as fast as the cam box (big or small) And the cams are small and need to be very precise. Using a regular 8mm cam will result in a 6-step weird-looking zigzag. However, i managed to design a cam that does the job, but i always have to change the cam, if i want to have a wider or more narrow stitch.. so i have made cams for 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm... And having them printed in ABS is not ideal, because they probably will use up pretty fast and then the zigzag will round down to a wave... So i would like to convert it to 12mm and puller, with a cam box (the big one) Can you recall and post or DM to me what you had to buy to get the conversion done? Thanks a lot!
