Likely there is a lever, button, or such to raise and lower the feed dogs. Check all the different buttons ones you have, usually on the right side of the machine -maybe at the base. Often they are not marked. If possible you might Goodle the machine make and model and there may be a video on U tube to show specifically how to do it. Moses

First off make sure your bobbin winder is not enguaged, meaning in the left hand position not the right. Also check your handwheel isn't pulled out to the right which would mean your bobbin winding clutch is enguaged.

Maybe... Or you have a bent needle.

http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/foot-control-and-cord-singer-87532.aspx and many, many, many other places. Should be in the $30-50 range. I am not necessarily suggesting this particular source, but I have used their parts before satisfactorily.

make sure theres not a wire thats lose on the menu panel.

You must have the presser foot fully down or you will get a warning beep. Raise the foot and lower it again.

no such thing, bobbins are not timed, needles, hooks and feed dogs are timed

you have to thread the machine with the presser foot down otherwise tensioner may not work properly

The problem is you either have a jammed zigzag pulse motor or it is defective.

On the right side is a big wheel and in the middle a smaller one. You need to unlock the smaller wheel so that the needle mechanism does not run when re-winding a bobbin. You need to use both hands to do it. Hold the bigger wheel and then loosen the inner wheel anti clock wise. Once you have finished loading your bobbin you need to tighten the inner wheel again for the machine to be fully functional again.

I would not advise raising the teeth any higher unless they have dropped down, with the teeth fully up crouch down so the teeth are in your eyeline and they should only be just above the plate, if you raise them up above what they should be you are in danger of breaking the needle plate and even the teeth holder which will be expensive

the part or gear that works the reverse could be damaged,, having the machine checked would be a good idea..

you can download the manual at: http://www.costco.com/images/content/misc/pdf/334599_instructions.pdf. This site is fairly stupid and won't let me cut & paste the URL so copy it carefully.

normally when you use longer thread tails of 4 to 6 inches and movethe thread tails behind the needle before starting to sew.

here is a free manual, there should be a picture of the zipper footin it showing the parts that come with the machine.http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/1196_7436_ingenuity-manual-(usa)_efs.pdf

if it's electronic, it sounds like the clutch has not disengaged likeit should, it might be a good idea to have the machine checked justincase the machine may need to have some type of adjustment.
