Normally on a sewing machine, You sew in one direction. You sew seams going in one direction. If you want to make a button hole, you dial the button hole setting. Sometimes, there are little places where you want to have thread go back and forth across a few spots. At those places you use the reverse lever. It changes the direction it makes the material go through the machine.
At one time, you had to use the reverse lever to make your own button holes or to do your own embroidery.
