Help with sewing machine

[trashy*pearls]

My sewing machinme just stopped working! The needle won't go anymore. It keeps making this ferocious noise and the machinery wont budge. So I looked underneath and there were no thread jams. Then I took off a part of the cover and there was thread on part of the machinery. I tried to get most of it out biut I'm not sure if I got all of it because it still won't work. :cry: Any help is appreciated, thanks! I did pull most of the visible thread out with tweezers but something is still wrong. Crying or Very sad It wont even turn so I can move the needle or anything.

PS The thread was in part of the machinery on top, not near the bobbin.

Oh wow.. It might just be the mechanism inside and something's jammed if it's not the thread. But really, I don't know how to fix it (i'm not that smart) but you can try going to a place where they sell sewing machines or something and ask them about it.. Sorry this wasn't much help ><;

ahhh this happens to mine every 6 minutes! i think i just rethread it and it usually starts working again... or i leave it alone and forget about it for awhile then when i come back its working.

sorrry im no help. id probably go to a sewing store or a proffessional about this if i were you. consult the manual? maybe craftster.org's forum could possibly help too or you could try to find a helpful sewing-based website/forum.

UUGH i can not help you.

whenever sewing machines break i just yell at them.

and that doesn't work too well.

it might be the tension, threaded wrong, or it could be jammed still much more underneath the plate.

your safest bet is to unthread it entirely, take it apart & blow some compressed air in there to try and get any dust out. if it still doesnt work after that, something probably got stuck deep inside of it and you're going to have to take it to a shop to get looked at.
