Sounds like it needs to be serviced.
SOURCE: backward stitching
Knowing which kind of machine you have helps alot. Just guessing but maybe the reverse mechanism is stuck and needs some oil in it to free it up. Or the buttonhole mechanism is stuck in reverse part of it.
Probably you should have it looked at.
SOURCE: needle stuck in right position, will only sew tiny,tiny stitches
oil it. down the shaft if you can get to it. and where ever there is a hole it always helps.
SOURCE: Pfaff 1222's 3 stretch stitches sew wrong and backwards only.
It sounds like the feed mechanism needs oil.
SOURCE: Why does my machine now only stitches backward, and no decorative stitches
You dont state what model of machine this is, however I have come across this problem mainly on Elna computerized machines and it has been exclusively due to failure of the driver chips on the processor board that control the stitch length stepper motor. You can confirm this by checking whether you can vary the stitch length as well as just the forward/reverse. Same applies to Bernina models, but I dont know about others. Either way, you need to have it checked by your tech.
