Babylock stuck All was working fine, then my machine jammed. Needles are stuck down, foot pedal won't work and hand wheel won't move. There is no fabric stuck under the needle bed, however I was sewing when this happened and my fabric is stuck above the needle bed also. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

SOURCE: needle keeps hitting the pressure foot and breaking

your machine probably needs to be retimed.

You do need to take it back.

To save on driving, call and ask for an appointment so you do not have to leave the machine and make a second trip.

I suggest having a professional look at it, if you don't have one near by. You can try to fix it yourself, but if release the gears the machine willl most likely get out of time and not sew properly.

How to release gears on each gear are 2 set screw, usually a hex head. just turn it counter clockwise and it will release.

But remember the machine will have to be timed, which is a bit to difficult to explain over text chat.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the suggestion. I took it in for service today because I don't want to ruin the machine. This is the second time the gears have locked up, "

On the side of the 'knob', look for another wheel that tightens against that, so it engages, that's what it sounds like. When that second wheel is loose, it won't run, it just spins. From the photo I can find of the unit, it looks like that second wheel is below it, but I can't be certain. Let me know how you make out. Please rate and comment, thank you,
