I was wondering if Ron or someone else could explain the operation of
this on my Precision. There is a round disk with "R" (Reverse)at the
top and "O" (Neutral)in the middle and "F" (Forward) bottom.
There is a second disk rotating or fixed with a left sided screw that
has numbers marked on it. Depending on how this disk is rotated the
"F" lever can move only so much. I've noticed no difference in the
stitch length by moving this disk to new positions. Any correction and
advice is welcome.
By the way, I know ISMACS has a digest for questions, but was more
familiar with you all and the format of this group. Thanks, Sonya

Easy as pie. You set the stitch length you want, screw in the screw so
it sits at that length firmly, and then you just flip it up to
backstitch and it will automatically backstitch at the same length.

OK, I have a new one. On top of the machine, on the left above the
take up bar there is a "knob/button" that can be pushed in or when
pushed again it will pop up. WHat is this??

That's the tension for your presser foot.

Called a pop up darner. No pressure when all the way up most all the way
down. I usually set them about 3/4
