This is our Brewer sewing machine. We didn't get a manual with the machine and there has been a steep learning curve to determine the purpose of all its dials and levers.

Without the manual, we are not exactly sure as to the proper operation of all the controls. The left-most large dial is a pattern selector. The top right knob controls zig-zag width while a lever on the same axis selects needle position right, middle, and left as seen in the small round window. A smaller white knob controls stitch length.

The lower knob is used to form button holes. Making a button hole is a 4-step process by rotating the dial to form each of the four sides of the buttonhole.

Missing on our machine is a button which can be depressed to control sewing in reverse.

Above is a sampling of stitches made with the Brewer using its internal cams. This is not the complete list and each pattern here can be modified by positioning the stitch length and needle left/right position.
