Know all I have to do is learn how to use this wonderful vintage machine!
Congratulations.
The stitch length can be adjusted with the lever on the pillar. There are times when the feed dogs don't go all the way through the cycle, but that is probably just because of oil that has hardened. Hopefully the fresh oil you have used has helped.
It looks like you got a good manual, not the one suggested in the other forum.
When you get to the end of sewing, rotate the hand wheel until the take up lever is at the top of the machine. Lift the presser foot. and draw the fabric and thread to the back. Many have recommended that the thread
s should be about 3 inches long behind the presser foot. If the thread
s are too short, when you start sewing they will get messed up. Some have recommended that you hold both threads behind the presser foot when you begin to sew.
Have fun learning to sew.
