Pamar, you win first prize!!!! The bobbin winding position was not completley disengaged. I moved it back just a little and I have power!!!! Thank you so much. You saved me an 1 1/2 trip to Brampton to the Babylock dealership (they also repair other brands and have a good reputation for fixing problem machines). I really really appreciate all of the answers I've received today and although I've gotten no sewing done, I have learned a lot. I didn't even know I had a fuse back there. I wonder why some of these things are not in the owner's manuel? Pamar's tip about the bobbin winding position should also be in there. I'm sure this has caused grief for more than one owner. Now I can get back to stitching. Thanks again.
