hi,

1)Check if your machine is set to sew forward.If the spring doesn't appear to be stretched,drop of WD-40 sewing machine oil.

2)The reverse button is attached to the link that moves a lever to make the machine sew in reverse. The lever is spring loaded so it returns to forward sewing when the button is released. Either the spring has come off or there is a bind in the lever(oil it).

3)Some times pieces of thread or cloth gets blocked in it.

post a comment for further assistance.
Thank you for using fixya have a nice day:-)

I have never found any online instruction manuals and repair manuals are just as non-existent.

You can try jiggling the reverse lever while turning the hand wheel. Other than that the only suggestion I have is to use the machine for target practice.
