How do I get my old Kenmore sewing machine to do the regular straight stitch and forward stitches, and NOT just the stretch and reverse stitching?
I have read the manual over and over again, oiled and tuned, triple checked that the special stitch modifier is in the right position, all settings are correct etc.
Is this a good question?

Sounds like the machine’s reverse button may be stuck in the ‘pressed’ position.
Squirt some WD-40 or similar release oil on the button’s shaft and internals, to free it up.

Does the machine have a double plug? One for the light & one for the motor? If so, unplug both plug light in where motor plug was & vice versa.
