The Juki stitch length control is similar to the Singer 111W models. You may have meant the reverse lever? -DC It may have been the reverse lever that raised up. It's been almost 3 decades since I last saw that machine. It definitely caused the stitch length to shorten as the speed increased.

Interesting. I just assumed it was reverse, because most of the old singer stitch length adjustments come out the front with a knob. I have very problematic feet, and the actual reason I'm looking to find a machine is so I can make the perfect work boot. I just wish this singer was a little more robust. Although, I doubt it would have much trouble with a couple layers of 6oz oil tan. Quote
