If it doesn't come on, it's probably burned out. Before you replace it, though, tap the area a little; sometimes the bulb can get a little loose in its holder. Your machine's manual will show you wish bulb to purchase, and how to replace it; you don't have to take the whole machine apart to do that. By the way, those machines don't take a wide variety of bulb, and they're commonly available. You might try Sewing Parts Online, especially if you can't find your manual; they also have manuals available as well.

The Beep is an alarm telling you to stop sewing and find the problem. Since it is jamming in the bobbin area, you should start there. Remove the fabric, then remove the bobbin and bobbin carrier... clean and remove any stray bits of thread from the bobbin area. You also should examine the needle or change it as a matter of course.

Please correct down position and remove the foot and switch off machine. Then set of the up position applique the needle. After machine On.

First change your needle... it's probably bent and make sure you are using a needle FOR Denim in a size 18. Hand run the machine... if you still feel it hitting something... it is out of time. Take it in for repair.

Have you opened yp the bobin feed? Check to see if thread knotted underneath. This can make the needle hit the threads and niot go dep enough to latch onto the thread in order to sew.

I be s 8763 was sewing beautifuly, took off pressure foot to make a buttonhole read the manual followed directions button holer kept gumming up with thread and the alarm kept going off, then got flustrated, put back on the sewing pressure foot now it is like the needle is out of line will not pick up bobbin, and is definately hitting something by the bobbin, will not sew

try lowering it so that it meets the eye of the needle, I had to do that on one of my machines, just pull it down a little.

it sounds like the needle clamp screw is not tight enough or is stripped out
