I was sewing a quilt block using a straight stitch. When I tried turning the wheel by hand to raise and lower the needle it was very stiff to turn. My machine was just serviced a few months ago and I have oiled it since then but thought maybe it just needed oiling again. Oiled everything and was running it without any fabric or needle to work the oil into the mechanisms and the feed dogs quit moving. Without feed dogs moving it won't feed the fabric through to sew.

The clutch has fallen off the shaft. Remove the very small screw in the clutch release screw to remove the clutch release. Place the clutch(round thing with ears on it) back on the shaft with the center ears pointing towards the outside. Put the clutch release screw back on. Tighten it to make sure it works
properly. Put the small screw back in the clutch release screw and test it again. If it will not tighten or release properly, remove the clutch ,rotate it180 degrees and try it again.This should solve your problem.
