Hi everyone! 

Recently I bought online this Singer 29k1 sewing machine but there is a problem. 

As I start sewing the presser foot won't pull back the fabric underneath it, basically it turns out that the machine sews in the same point.

Can somebody help me out? I will post a link with the photos.

Also I noticed that the bar with the stitch length doesn't have numbers and signs on it regulating the length.

Hi! I fixed the tab and I will post pictures but It still doesn't take back the fabric, I tried with two layer of leather and also with only one but it still has this issue. Also I don't know if it has to be like this but the tab moves if I push up the bar with my finger. I don't know if it's also part of the problem but even if it was screwed in the previous position that was incorrect, the tab moved free as I moved with my finger. Also the presser foot is up in the photos.

you probaly have chosen a short stitch lenght or the bell crank lever is worn down (or both). Maybe teeth on the presser foot are dull / worn down.

Also theck if the "gib" on the stitch lenght adjuster is installed correctly. See pictures here:
