Try calling your Dr and see if he can suggest what to do. Alot of the nicer repair guys will try to help you over the phone, to save you the trip and costs if it is something minor. Since it seemed to be in the plug before and by wiggling it, it would start to work then it is more than likely in that plug. In the meantime, I would take a trip to Wal Mart if you have one close and buy a little cheap machine over there, to at least get this quilt finished if the plug is not the problem. Then you will have a back up as well, and won't have to worry if something goes wrong again, with either machine. Good luck and keep us posted on the fixes...
