Sewing machine Help please!
#51
This happened to one of my machines...turned out it was the timing. I chose not to have it repaired as my machine was not all that expensive. It would have cost almost as much to have it fixed as the cost of the machine!

A friend of mine had that happen. When she took it to be serviced, he told her thread had gotten wound up and tangled in the tension area. Does the left side open so you can see where the thread goes when your threading the machine? If so, check to see if you have a birds nest of thread wrapped around something in there.

If toggle, like most, no help there.
Maybe if you hold the stop start button and count to about ten slowly, it will reset the motherboard memory.
On my non-Singer: I turn the machine off, hold the stop/start and another button down WHILE turning on the power switch/button.
Have you tried something like that yet?
The fact that the needle goes up and down by hand-turn means most of the gears/belts are ok.
Humm
Aardie.

Singers do have a habit of doing what your mashine has done if thread is stuck down under the bobbin case area. I would take out everything I could and look and also while it is apart as much as possible use your vacumm cleaner and suck it out even if you do not see anything. It could be the tiniest bit of thread stuck down in there. Do NOT use canned air to try to clean it out. That only pushes stuff further inside it. And Say a Prayer...God always helps me :)
