Joe,

What a wonderful chart!! It will be very useful.
I just measured my 99 from 1922. It is different than the 66.
all the way in= 6 stitches/ inch
one turn= 7 1/2 stitches/ inch
2 turns= 9 1/2 stitches/ inch
3 turns= 12 stitches/ inch
4 turns= 18 stitches/ inch
5 turns= stitches too close together to count

I think ...... oh wait, that gives me a headache ..... I once made a stitch chart on my #1 66 treadle ..... I'll go find it ..... don't go anywhere ......

OK, I'm back, you still there?

With the knob all the way in I got 7 1/2 stitches per inch
One turn out was 8 1/2 SPI
Two turns out was 9 1/2 SPI
2 1/2 turns out was 11 SPI
3 turns out was 12 SPI
4 turns out was 15 SPI
5 turns out was 20 SPI
6 turns out was 28 SPI
7 turns out was 49 SPI
and at 7.5 turns out it quit feeding.

How that will equate to your machine I don't know. But it's something to check out.

Joe
