This Morse Superdial 6100 zigzag sewing machine, came with a fantastic set of both satin stitch cams, but also the double layer, stretch stitch cams, with gorgeous stitches for both practical sewing tasks, but also for decorative sewing. You will find this particular sewing machine with many different color schemes, as well as under other brand names, and model numbers, apparently! (Google Lens is a great way to search)

When I purchased the Morse Superdial 6100, it was frozen solid. So SOLID, that nothing moved, anywhere on it, and we weren't sure, if it was fixable, because we could not look inside, to see if it had any plastic gears or cams. Luckily, this has ALL METAL inside mechanical parts, and is quite overbuilt!

Morse Superdial 6100 top removed, to clean out the old oil, and add fresh oil, to get it unfrozen. Very happy to see how well built this is!

Morse Superdial 6100 had literally been glued solid, with the old oil that dried to a lacquer. The reverse bar seemed like it wouldn't work at all, but it turned out just to be the dried up oil, holding it from springing back into position, after being pushed down. This is looking from the bottom of the machine up to the top. Notice where the motor is hidden.

 |
| Morse Superdial 6100 had been oiled in the past, but had been allowed to dry out, which is why it had the brown staining, that is actually dried up oil, which becomes a lacquer, glue. Notice simplicity of mechanical design, simple, but strong and sturdy. Easy to maintain or repair, as well as easy to use. |
 |
| Morse Superdial 6100 is heavily overbuilt for a home sewing machine, which I LOVE! Twin needle capable zigzag stitches, as long as you only use the settings for 1/2 width, or less. |

Morse 6100 Superdial zigzag sewing machine notice the oiling ports in the top of the machine, to make it easier to oil, without removing the top. I especially love the HUGE industrial style reverse lever! This is the type of reverse lever most industrial sewing machines equipped with reverse, have. The bobbin winder is the standard, simple to use bobbin winder, the clutch release knob is in the middle of the handwheel, bobbin winding tension is on the back thread guide.

| Close view of Morse Superdial 6100 cam door and cam, and buttonholer mechanism, as well as the needle position and zigzag stitch control. The funny curved lever is your locking mechanism for setting the stitch width, and locking it at a specific stitch width. The center of the dial has the buttonholer mechanism settings on the bottom of the dial, the R M L is for right, middle, and left needle position. The longer lever on this dial is for sewing zigzag stitches manually, for free style zigzag embroidery, controlled by the machine operator. |

Morse Superdial 6100 Sewing Machine with cam door open, to show the zigzag stitch cam, #0 which is required for this machine to sew a zigzag stitch. The cam was literally glued to the machine, which wasn't a surprise, because the machine had set so long, it literally was frozen solid, the old oil dried out to a lacquer, gluing it solid. The cam door must be open all the say, and stitch width dial must be set to 0 to remove the cam. I had to drip rubbing alcohol behind the cam, to get it to release. You can use a hair dryer to gently warm old lacquer, but doing so with plastic parts, risks breaking those plastic parts, by causing cracking. Sometimes, it is your "last resort", and if you ask professional service techs, many use WD40 or Liquid Wrench, to break down the old dried oil, but you MUST clean these out, and replace them with sewing machine oil, or Tri Flow oil, afterwards, or they will dry out and stick again, sooner, rather than later.

| The tools and cleaners and oil I used to work on, and clean and oil, unfreeze this Morse Superdial 6100 Goo Gone to remove the strip of dried up masking tape for a seam guide on the bed, TriFlow oil, to lubricate it, and the short jar of rubbing alcohol I used to dip the paintbrush and Qtips in, to help remove the old dried sticky oil, which froze this machine solid. A flashlight comes in handy, for looking inside the machine to ensure everything is working properly. |
