Wow, how come no one has told you that the darn button lowers the feed dogs...LOL.

It drops the feed dogs and Darns. Do you remember your Gramma darning socks on a lite bulb It sorta looked like she re weaved the cloth It's great for fixing small holes in jean pockets from the rivets

I think that moves the needle from right, center,and left positions?

Above the 'Darn/Norm' button you will see the letters L M R. The thin ring on the outside of those letters is what you turn to change needle positions.

To move the lever, which changes your stitich width and is leaning to the right in the picture, you press the button on the left hand side of the lever and slide it to the left.

It could be for the feed dog but I wonder if it means straight stitch or zig zag? Interested in finding out.

Oh my goodness. Lucky you and it is so pretty.

Wish I found things like that at yard sales, etc. WOW

It looks very similar to my circa 1975 Wizard Citation, which was sold by Western Auto and made in Japan by Brother. Mine looks a bit newer, based on the additional stiches, or it may be an upgraded model. If it'll let me, I'll attach a picture of mine.

that is an interesting machine. First I've seen one like that. I like the looks of it.

I was 32 before I ever had my first sewing machine, and it was a singer with its own cabinet that cost $30. That was in 1972. I was so thrilled. I sewed and sewed on it, then got a better one (or so I thought...a portable machine) and gave mine to a daughter that never used it. YIKES

Don't use WD40 it gets gummy. Rather use "Liquid Wrench" and just let it sit for a bit and then try to move the knob.
Very pretty machine. :mrgreen:

I think it means sewing centre, left or right
