I checked the light bulb also and the whole machine had no power, it wouldn't sew. I was kind of wondering about both of our machines being plugged into the same outlet but her machine was still working but mine wasn't and then I tried it in two different outlets and it still won't work. I didn't know it had a safety device either till I read it on the trouble shooting page. And probably will have to take it somewhere to reset and find out what went wrong. Just seems funny that I hadn't even started sewing on it yet and the power went off. I'm puzzled for sure. Thanks again!
