You should be able to turn the hand wheel (on the right side of the machine) towards you and you should see the take up lever on the top left. It does not stick above the machine.

Check to make sure your dog feet are not down. If they are lowered the fabric will not move.

It is either a mechanical problem or an electrical problem. possibly your pedal is not functioning correctly. if you have a different pedal try it. The least likely is that the motor went bad. Try oiling it, check for gummed parts, rotate the knob by hand and see if it is stiffer than normal. Listen for the hum from the motor to see if it sounds like it is working against a stiff mechanical issue, or if it is not really coming on. You may have wrecked gears or bearings. Try a few of these ideas and tell us your results.

Is the bobbin winder on? If so, turn it off. Otherwise, is there power to the machine? And this happened while you were sewing? Cut the thread above the needle eye. Rock the handwheel back and forth firmly to try to cut the thread jam below the needle plate with the sewing hook. If that doesn't work, open the bobbin case area of the machine and try to pull the bobbin case out, cutting any threads you can see with a seam ripper. Still won't come? Take the needle out of the needle clamp and throw it away (it's bent!), and take the screws out of the needle plate (=throat plate) and take the needle plate off after cutting any threads you can reach under the fabric. Keep cutting and pulling out any thread you find, and eventually, you'll be able to turn the handwheel. Clean all the thread bits, lint, and junk out of the area under the needle plate, the bobbin and bobbin case, and the shuttle area... there will be directions in your manual on how to clean the machine, including the shuttle area. Reassemble. Put in a brand new needle, right way around and fully up in the needle clamp. Rethread from scratch. Always hold the thread ends behind the presser foot for the first couple of stitches of each seam. See also: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/22521551

Most likely explanation is you need a new needle, right way around (flat of the needle to the back of the machine), fully up in the needle clamp. Try a size 12/80 first... it's the needle the machine was timed for. If you continue to have problems, a better description (or photos) would help. Maybe some more helps for you: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/22521551 http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/17206792

You'll need to replace the sending unit, it's only replaced with the fuel pump as an assembly, and mounts inside the fuel tank. The part is readily available at most auto parts stores, but check a few sources as I've seen them anywhere from $140-$380. Not sure about any relationship to your check engine, unfortunately, unless the fuel pressure is very low.

This comes from automotiveforums.com "This is a common problem with 1998-2000 rodeos. The contacts on the float switch in the gas tank get weak & cause funky gauge readings. This will also set off the check engine light. You have to pull the gas tank to remove the sending unit to get at it. You can fix the one you have by bending / "adjusting" the electrical contact points so they make good contact again, or you can just replace the sending unit. The thing is, the new one will only last about 30Kmi & you'll be in the same boat again!! I'd pay a mechanic to fix the old one. Isuzu redesigned the unit for 2001, which eliminates this problem, but the new unit wont fit pre 2001's. G/luck! Joel" Hope it helps

Personally it sounds like it could be a costly repair.A new Brother LS-2125i can be purchased online for about $80.00. Most sewing machine repair places charge upwards of $60.00 for a tune-up. So it's your call? Good Luck

Check for nicks on the thread you are using. Also try turning the thread around it may be catching on a little cut at the bottem of your thread. Also are you using the white circular piece which has a hole in the center looks like cotten batten ? That helps sometime to make the thread unravel correctly. Place that on then put your thread on.
