When I put it back on 13/straight stitch it continues to do the decorative stitch I had just sewed. I tried other stitches & they all worked. Still no luck with the straight stitch.
I believe your machine is an older model with cogs inside. There is a connection to the needle arm. As the cog rotates it moves the arm in and out causing the needle arm to do the same. You have to check inside the machine to see if the connections are tight. As the connector moves the needle arm is pulled in constantly by a spring so the straight stitch is always to the closest side (the right). This may be confusing but I've sent a picture for you to look at. It has to be adjusted somewhere. Without seeing it I cannot give too much information. Anyway, I would like to know how you do.

Thank you for your reply & picture. I have my machine stitching with the dial between the straight stitch & the next one. Crazy, I know. I will definitely try to adjust my machine with your info & post a response after. Thanks again for your help.
No it isn't crazy. The arm that moves along the side of the cam can easily placed out of adjustment. By adjusting the arm that moves along the side of the cam it will become perfect again.
