Stitch option settings dial not responding

I have a Riccar 1570 sewing machine. The dial to select stitching type (A,B,C,D,E,F, G choices) is suddenly not responding when turned. I need to use C & G setting for a quilt with a deadline. Can you explain what I need to do to get it working again pronto? Thank you

An older mechanical machine? Possibly could use a good cleaning and oiling. Old oil may have solidified and preventing things from moving.

Riccar 777 sewing machine. I can’t get it to sew regular stitch. I have no book.

If it's an older mechanical machine, the stitch width selector or dial has most likely seized.

My machine is doing a triple stitch and I don't know how to make it stop!

Best course would be to consult the owner's manual. It has most likely been inadvertently set to triple stitch--may even be a combination of stitch dials..

I have a riccar 2600 and I can't figure out witch knob makes it sew straight. Please help!!! Thanks, Heather

Perhaps the owner's manual will be helpful:

FWIW, it appears that the round dial on the far right is the stitch length selector. The round dial at the top is the zig-zag stitch selector.

How do I set the dials on husqvarna viking 6000 sewing machine

The "dial" in the back is for decorative stitches which require a "programmer" to be inserted with the stitch formation you want to form. For a straight stitch no cam is required in the back of the machine. The three dials on the front:

Upper Left: Stitch selector
Upper Right: Stitch lenght
Lower: Stitch width

Using the upper left dial select the straight stitch picture
Using the upper right, choose your stitch lenght
Using the lower, choose your needle position, left/center/right

Stitch length problem

the stitch length dial may need to be checked to see if it's worn or damaged or may need a adjustment.
