Can someone help me figure something out? "Bell" sews a beautiful straight stitch and zig zag. But I can't get any of the decorative stitches to stitch. I'm missing something.
Here's what I know so far...

The stitch width needs to be on "F" to change to a decorative stitch.
The needle left-center-right is the upper right slide button, which is color coded, and I can match any color coded decorative stitch with the needle bar.
But when I switch to any of the decorative stitches none of them stitch. The machine stitches a zig zag for every decorative stitch. The machine stitch length is set to 16 stitches per inch.
Any ideas???

I can't tell it was ever used! The machine is immaculate, not a scratch on it anywhere. The paint and the chrome is beautiful, almost like looking at a 57 Chevy! The entire machine is metal, not a bit of plastic on it anywhere. It has decorative stitches, l-c-r needle, a 4-step button hole and you should see the innards, just like the day it was born.
Even the foot plate is like brand new. There were no attachments or manual, but the bobbin case was there as well as the all-purpose foot. The poor thing was bone dry so of course I slathered it will oil. The table is the original but someone thought it needed a thick ugly coat of white paint. I'll remove the paint with a paint remover and see if I can restore it to the original finish.
Boy you should hear her hum! The picture doesn't do the chrome justice, it's beautiful.
