Rae, If you are trying to wind a bobbin or resume sewing, the center knob across many models of machines; is to TURN the center hub to lock or unlock the needle bar sewing action so you can wind a bobbin; or resume sewing. Cheers, Kelly San Diego, CA Embroidery Services

Get a new needle first and try that. If that doesn't work, you're timing is likely fouled up and it needs a quick trip to the shop. (Seriously, that takes about 5 minutes to fix so depending on how busy the shop is you might be less than an minutes.) Also, don't let them recommend a bunch of other services. If you were so inclined and have a screwdriver handy, google "fix sewing machine timing" and you can tinker with it yourself but it's no guarantee.

Hi, I had the same problem, but I finally found my manual. The solution is that you have to use the presser foot for buttonholes but the most important part is that you have to lower the buttonholer lever. It is located right next to the needle to the left. It is a metal lever with a little square white plastic end. You need to pull that down in order the the buttonhole feature to work. My button was too big for the buttonhole presser foot, so I had to use the regular presser foot, but hit the buttonhole lever with my had to make it go up or down.

sorry can't help you there may be you need it check by a sewing machine mechanic may be a screw is lose and need to be tight.

Try turning the wheel to the right end manually----briskly back and forth to loosen thread that are caught in the bobbin. Remove bobbin and clear threads. If none, remove plate below needle to see if thread or fluffy threads are clogged below. No good...have it serviced by a professional.

Look if the buttonhole lever, left back of machine, is push up in position. The beeping sound is a warning message.

Your problem is most certainly with the buttonhole switch. Firstly: Look if the buttonhole lever, left back of machine, is push up in position. The beeping sound is a warning message. Secondly Remove the light cover, left of the machine, loosen back screw and remove left hand screw completely. Check for a small black electric switch, follow the brown and green elecrtic wire, just back of the light. If you push the BH lever up and down the switch finger should also move up and down. If it stays down, the machine will not work and give a beeping sound. If the switch finger is stuck, push it up with the BH in top position. Hope this will help you
