I just got my 201 cleaned and oiled and motor lubed. I had someone else rewire it. It purrs. I lowered the feed dogs, and yes that knob was very tight but some oil loosened it up and the dogs are down. My issue is that the stitches are tiny. I set the stitch length as indicated in the manual, right in the middle, but unless I am going super slow the stitches are so small. I can do satisfactory FMQ on my dinky mechanical modern Brother so I know I can get the speeds coordinated. What else am I missing?

PS I just watched the video. Why is the light on the back of her 201? Also, her machine seems very noisy. Mine is whisper quiet.
