Default the 401 isn't quite ready :(

but maybe someone here can help.

the stitch length regulator won't lock. as soon as i start sewing it bounces a bit, and then creeps upwards, making the stitches increasingly small.

any thoughts on how i might fix this?

i am also haveing trouble getting the tension right, but i suspect that has to do with the machine having been unused for so long, though tips for this are warmly welcome too. the whole stitch seems to be too tight, curling/puckering the fabric.

thank you!
