@altomare@oldbytes.space That silver knob on the front of the body should be the stitch length control. I have two 99s from the 1950s and they're beautiful machines, I'm currently sewing shirts on the newer of the two and it's so much nicer to sew with than any of the other significantly more modern machines we have. I was lucky enough to get both machines in working order and our local sewing machine repair place services them.

@juliancalaby@social.treehouse.systems The cause for the tiny stitches was found, we un-tightened the linkages at the bottom when trying to get it to move again, and forgot about it. The feed dog was not moving its whole range. The attached stitch picture was with the length knob adjusted to the max 😅 Your machine is beautiful indeed, it's nice seeing one in action
