The rest are usually standard or nonessential for my sewing: * Needle Up/Down * Needle Positions * Fully adjustible stitch width for zig zags (not mentioned on your list, but it's #1 on mine. *...and a reverse button ***NEAR*** the needle/head area. But I've never seen a sewing machine without some sort of reverse button or lever.

I've been sewing some on other people's machines lately, as well as my own favourites, and at the top of my list of desirable features is: *Sews at full speed with NO VIBRATION. Jennifer in Calgary
