Maybe you have options in a slightly different place than you are looking. Does your machine have any stitch count options? It could be in there.
I do love the quilter foot which has markings/widths side to side and front to back, that's made it a lot easier for my Y-seam type projects. I just have to slow down in time (I'm usually zooming along) and I'm still getting used to what I consider an extra stitch in my system when I use reverse.
My vintage Pfaff belonged to a friend's mother. It is my go-to machine for when I am costuming or sewing fancy fabrics (neither of which I really do any more) but I could never get it to do a quality machine quilting stitch, piecing was fine but not the quilting.
