Stitch length is going to depend greatly on the fabric. You are going to use a longer stitch length on denim than you are on chiffon. That is why it is important to test and adjust your stitch length on a scrap of fabric before you begin sewing your project.

Do you mean stitch width or stitch length? If you are talking about the width, there wouldn't be any because it's just straight. If you are asking about length then it would depend on what type of fabric you are using, as well as what you are making. If you are going to top stitch then the length would be longer. Fabrics that are knits, or are stretchy, would require a longer length than woven fabric. It also depends on how heavy the fabric. The heavier the fabric, IE. denim, the shorter the length.

How does a sewing machine that works with fashion disks do a straight stitch?

What does the stitch width dial do on a sewing machine?

You should have an instruction booklet with your machine. That will show you where everything is. This will vary from machine to machine with some being simple and others you should be a rocket scientist to use. The stitch width selector is pretty self explanatory. You use it to select the width of the stitch you want to use in a zig zag stitch.

What is stitch length regulator?

The stitch regulator allows you to control both the length and the width of the stitch. The length of the stitch depends on the fabric you are sewing and how small or large you want the stitches to be (for example, if you're basting something together, you'd change the stitch length regulator to a higher number). The width of the stitch is controlled when sewing with an alternative stitch, such as a zigzag.

Does the Kenmore model 158.13410 sewing machine do straight stitching?

It probably does but I couldn't find an exact match for it on managemylife.com where you can get free copies of most kenmore manuals. I did find a manual for the Kenmore 153.13141 which shows the manual for the 1341 model kenmore. You might want to check and see if this is your machine or close to it. [I have this machine, and yes it does have a straight stitch. You simply set it to the zig zag stitch setting, and then set your stitch width to "0". It will then perform a straight stitch. -mmo)
