Robin. Take off the hand wheel. Look for the funny looking washer with ears. The center fingers should be angled outward when you fit it into place (counter intuitive, I know) Fit everything back together and try it again.
SOURCE: the bobbin is getting caught and needle is jamming
This sounds like there is cotton stuck in the bobbin holder. Check it thoroughly. Take the bobbin out and turn the wheel to lower the needle a few times. This will show up any thread caught. Pull it out gently. You may have to perservere to get it all out.

You may well have a small piece of thread stuck in the raceway, take the raceway out and check, failing that take the top off the machine and look at the fibre gear on top of the motor to see if it has broken away, you may have the model with the metal gear which should be okay.
SOURCE: Singer 401a - hand wheel will not move needle
Make sure the lock is tight. If it is even slightly loose, the wheel will spin without moving the needle.
SOURCE: Needle moves up and & down and sews for a few
If you look at the website, www.sewvacdoctor.com and you can see, they say it may be your foot pedal or transducer(speed control inside the machine) I would call Singer and see if it is still under warranty, hopefully it is. If it is the foot controller, that is not too expensive, I don't know about the transducer. But, call Singer at -800-4singer and tell them what is happening. Good luck
