Rose, the knob just above the badge is the stitch length adjust, screw it clockwise(in) for longer stitch and counterclockwise to make stitch smaller Glenn[/quot]
:) :) Thanks so much Glenn. I don't have a book on how to use this machine. The manual that I have seen online shows the 99 with a lever.

I am cutting my own stencil. Copy the Singer logo from another case. Just using brilliant gold paint and a stencil brush with a little shellac over it to protect it and it looks just like the original Glenn[/quote]
Ah--I see. Please post when you get it done.
