All important controls are front and center. All simple to use and easy to adjust. It is so close the Necchi BU manual on CD disc is sent with it. The two main controls used are the lever across the arm that choses a straight stitch and the width of the zig zag and the lever on the post to set reverse stitching as well as the stitch length.

This is a very clean and little used sewing machine of the finest design and manufacture. It will serve well and for a long long time doing fast and strong sewing. A 1.3 amp motor will drive the sewing through heavy material and do it rapidly. This is a heavy duty sewing machine that will also stitch fine silk.

These stitches came with ease and were quick to adjust. An easy stitcher. Would be very nice to use in a treadle. The motor can be left in place when used in a treadle. The motor belt is replaced with the treadle belt. This way you have both uses.
