My Excel 15S appears to sew backward?

Machine feeds fabric toward the rear and when you hold down the reverse lever, the machine feeds the fabric forward. Help!, please.

Hello Richard,
Take the top fo your machine off and you will see just right of the centre a long vertical bar with the top looking like a two pronged fork, in the middle of the fork is a cam, slacken off the screw on the cam and move the cam slightly, there should be a timing mark on the cam and on the topshaft which should be aligned up, unfortunately they are not always acurate, it may take several attempts.
