Abstract

A cam selecting drum which is loosely supported in punched out holes in the frame of a sewing machine is spring biased into stabilized indexed positions to prevent variable stitch formation, and an idler gear which is also loosely supported on said frame for engagement with a gear on said drum as well as a gear on a mode selecting dial is spring biased to provide a loose meshing relationship with the gear on the drum whereby a feeling of placement of the dial becomes evident in indexed positions of the drum.
