Does the motor rev when the foot control is pressed down? If you don't hear the motor, then the problem could be the foot pedal rheostat or the motor itself. If you do hear the motor, then the motor belt is probably worn. The belt connects the motor to the hand wheel to needle bar mechanism.
Here are the steps to thread a Euro-Pro 382 sewing machine:
Raise the presser foot lever to release the tension discs.
Place the thread spool on the spool pin and slide it to the right until it clicks into place.
Pull the thread end from the spool and insert it through the thread guide located at the top of the machine.
Pull the thread down through the tension discs, then wrap it around the bobbin winding tension disc located on the top left of the machine.
Insert the thread end through one of the holes on the bobbin and push the bobbin onto the bobbin winding spindle.
Push the bobbin winding spindle to the right to engage the winding mechanism. Hold the thread end and press the foot pedal to start winding the bobbin.
When the bobbin is full, cut the thread and push the bobbin winding spindle back to the left.
Remove the bobbin from the spindle and place it into the bobbin case.
Hold the thread end and turn the handwheel towards you to raise the needle to its highest position.
Pull the thread from the bobbin case and insert it through the thread guide located above the needle.
Thread the needle from front to back and pull the thread out about 6 inches.
Lower the presser foot lever to engage the tension discs and pull the thread towards the back of the machine.
Hold the thread end and turn the handwheel towards you to take up the bobbin thread.
Close the bobbin cover and you're ready to start sewing.
The foot control you are talking about will activate the needle down function on your machine. You need to press down on your heel on the foot control. This was the precursor to the automatic needle up/down option that is found on newer sewing machines that will automatically stop with the needle in the down position.
Is it plugged in? (The foot pedal) Your machine may have power but in most setups the foot pedal is the master controller; since it controls motor speed everything mechanical is affected by whether it works or not.
Nov 8, 2013 - We have a Brother Limited Edition Project Runway Sewing MachineRefurbished LS2250PRW. I was trying to sew on a button and was turning the hand wheel to do ... front near the needle where you can run the machine with foot pedal ...just what I would experience when my Bernina was running, or not, ...
The thread is being picked up from underneath, but will not form a stitch at all. ... Butwhen I push my pedal down my needle won't move, the motor runs, but nothing happens. ... I have a Bernina machine which is sewing OK with the normal foot. ....The hand wheel, the wheel at the end that manually turns to make the needle ...
Try turning the power switch on with the embroidery unit in place, insert the foot control. Then turn the power switch off, remove the foot pedal and turn the power on again. If that doesn't work, try inserting the foot pedal with the power switch in the off position, withdrawing it, then turning the power switch on.
Your motor was designed to shut itself down if it overheats or if stitching was interrupted. For instance, if your needle hit something solid and the needle bent or broke.
Generally, it will go on again in 10 minutes to 2 hours, depending on what the cause was. Occasionally, it can take longer. Using the foot pedal tends to reset the motor. I discovered this by accident one night, when I assumed that it was a Reset port and gently stuck the eraser end of a pencil in it until I felt resistance, then withdrew it. The machine had only shut down for about 3 minutes, but it turned right on again.
Of course I have to guess here--not seeing the machine, but it appears that your motor is working fine. That would leave two possibilities, I think. The first is a defective foot pedal. The second is, when you push the bobbin winder, it engages a clutch that diverts power from the needle shaft to the winder. It is possible that the clutch is stuck. To find out, disengage the bobbin winder and press the foot pedal, and see if the bobbin winder spindle is still spinning.
as you turn on the motor starts running. but when you press pedal there is a clutch that engages. probably the clutch keeps engaged. clutch needs to be set to engage on pressing pedal only.
