I was sewing and lifted my foot from the pedal to make an adjustment to the fabric. Pressed my foot back on pedal and nothing happens. Absolutely no noise comes from the machine. If I use the hand wheel, the needle moves freely.
There is probably a bad connection in your foot pedal. Try moving it around with your hands at the contact points while pressing to activate. If it goes when you are shifting its position then it needs to be fixed or replaced.
Hi Jerry. It was the foot pedal. But, unfortunately not the connection. It was internal. I ended up taking to a repair shop and had the insides of the pedal replaced.

SOURCE: Hand wheel spins without moving the needle
I used to have an old Bernina that had an inner and outer hand wheel. Loosening the inner wheel disconnected the needle bar from the motor so you could wind the bobbin without running the needle up and down. It sounds to me like your machine has the same feature, but resistance on the needle makes the inner wheel loosen up. I don't know whether wrenching on it as tight as you can would be enough, or whether this is a symptom indicating that there is something loose internally in the connection between the inner and outer wheels. Good luck!

Check to see if you have your bobbin winder on. That's usually the problem. Just push it to the left and you should be ok.

Call Singer at 1-800-4singer and ask for their advice, you do not want to void your warranty with not going to an authorized repair service if it comes to that. Good luck
