On the Kenmore, I looked at the innards (technical term!) as I turned the stitch length dial. There's a part right behind the dial that rocked back & forth as I turned the dial. The eccentic was there...in the side of the part that rocked. It was on the right side with the nut securing it on the left. It looked like a regular screw head but the head stuck out about 3/16". I loosened the nut just enough to turn the eccentric. Turned it a little, tightened the nut & checked it. A LOT of loosening, tightening, checking til I got it right BUT I finally did! If someone actually knew what they were doing, I'm sure it would have been a LOT faster! Ha!Ha!

I'd send you a picture of it BUT, it's a real job to get to it on those dual belt Kenmores! Had to loosen the internal motor, to take off the hand wheel to remove the side panel....then put the wheel & motor back on to test the stitches.Then remove it all again to put the side back on, etc.
