My Singer 7422 seeing machine’s needle will only go down when pressing with the foot pedal. I can’t seem to find anything wrong with it and was wondering about taking the top cover off. Every screw is out...

First off, if the SEEING Machine (seeing?) is not working well, it could be related the "BLIND Stitching" elements.

Sow ing machine: Sewing!
Just teasing! But in reality You should never disassemble your machine. It needs PROFESSIONAL care and attention. Do Nor, I restate...do not remove screws and attempt to fix you own machine...it may make things worse. Get Professional assistance only.

Can you sew up the front of a button down front on a dress?

Yes you can. Be careful to remove the buttons. It could be nice to sow a decorative ribbon where you sow the front together. Good luck

Berend: Thick fabrics require a longer stitch length. If the longer stitch length doesn't work check your attachments for an Easy Feed foot (It sort of mimics a walking foot.)

Usually pedals possess a variable rheostat controller that react with the action of your foot. If it fails to function normally, it suggests that a short circuit has occurred. Generally, that means an internal wire or contact opens up and stops all further activity as you mentioned. The best bet is to take the machine to your local sewing machine dealer for repairs.
