Why won’t my sewing machine needle go up and down?
A disengaged clutch, broken drive belt or internal drive gear failure can prevent the needle from moving. … If the needle won’t move with the clutch engaged, unplug the sewing machine and check the drive belt. Replace the drive belt if it’s broken.
Which way do you turn the handwheel on a sewing machine?
Always turn the handwheel TOWARDS you (counter clockwise) as turning it in the opposite direction (away from you, clockwise) may knock the timing out requiring repair from a service center. Always be sure your presser foot is in the DOWN position before sewing.
