Sorry I only have three holes.
I did find a store in Hamilton that had one but now my delegate is ther is no stitch length. The straight Stitch is almost stitching on top of itself. Can’t find where there is an adjustment. Otherwise sews terrific.

Thank you everyone fore your help. I did find a foot in Hamilton, Ontario. The machine sews great but now I cannot seem to adjust the Stitch length. The straight Stitch is extremely close together. Must be one of the first machines sears made.

Sears dooesn't make any of their products, all things are contracted through other manufacturers. Janome built your machine. You have several options for stitch length right on the front of your machine, just change the setting.

i have tried all the straight Stitch choices shown here and they are all too short. Would a technician be able to adjust the length?

Yes, a service will fix the problem, I'm not sure you would be will to pay what it cost though. It's one of the simplest and a low price model, personally I would not spend too much money or effort on it. It's a simple straight stitch - zigzag machine with preset stitch width and length, and very limited. Any good vintage machine will sew rings around it at half speed and will be worth the time and effort it takes to fix it up.

You could take a chance and give it a DIY clean up. Unscrew the throat plate and clean round the bobbin case and feed dogs. It's not an old model, I guess it was made in the 1990s or 2000s. If you can access the inside of the freearm you might find some oil points; gears, ends of rods, hook, race, etc. The plastic casing is a bit difficult to take off, but that's what a full service requires. If you could access what's under the top of the machine it would be helpful too, there might be something stuck in the stitch selector parts.

I have played with a few machines similar to this one. My impression is that the stitch shown in the window next to where it says "stitch selector" is the one chosen. When I've had one of these machines, all it needed was to be cleaned and lubricated before passing it on to someone who needed a machine.

Mickey is right, it just needs a good cleaning/oiling and a run in to loosen things up.
