Singer 66 With Stitch Length Lever

 Singer had many versions of model 66, this is one of their later model 66's, which is FABULOUS, even without reverse, the stitch length lever is so easy to just lift it to 0, stitch 2 or 3 stitches to lock it, then put it down to whatever length of stitches you want to sew.
