If you can find it you might could order the parts for it and fix it yourself.
If it were mine that sucker would be apart and me seeing what makes it tick.

Yep went through the trap door on the bottom, nothing there, it seems the silly plastic gears are not moving the feet. I can move the plastic gears (with my screwdriver) and it will move the feet, but won't move when I turn the hand wheel. It won't even pull up the bobbin thread when I turn the hand wheel. I have throughly checked everywhere for lint, string, fuzz you name it, and nothing. Called Singer...and they needed me to send them proof of purchase, and serial number before they would send me a list of authorized service centers in my area, even though I registered it when I purchased it. Also I will have to pay shipping to service center, they pay the return shipping. She told me 100% of labor and parts are covered in the first year (we'll see). Went to my local repair center-it's $80 just to look at it, they aren't an authorized center, so am waiting to get a response from the Warranty center.
It sounds like the linkage or a gear is stripped on the top side where everything ties into each other. Lets hope they will fix it and you wont have to worry with it anymore.
