My Kenmore Sewing machine was working great then just stopped. Inside the machine lots of thread was stuck-not in the bobbin area but in the top. The removed thread was black-my sister was using pink to sew with. After oiling it and cleaning every where I could reach it still is stuck with the needle down and the feed dogs are not rising up to where they belong. I have checked that they have not been "dropped". When I disengage the needle for winding the bobbin the motor works fine. Any ideas of what to try next?
Best suggestion try inserting new needle. cotton up the top suggests needle problem or incorrect top thread tension, this would effect the feed dog. Because thread is black and most recent use was with pink, the problem thread was already there perhaps in cavity above bobbin but below throat plate. I have had this happen and nothing will move, untill needle released. The bobbin holder tension may also need adjusting after the knots of black cotton are removed.
Testimonial: "The thread was in the top of the machine-like above the needle. It was behind where you thread the top thread through to the needle. I have taking the machine apart as far as I possibly can and it still in not working. Thanks for the advice-I am going to go try a new needle just in case."

When this happens it is because the thread tension was not right so it gets stuck under the bobbin case and the feed dogs. Use a bigger lint brush and take out the bobbin casing and clean out the shuttle. When you rethread pull slightly on the thread before you feed it through the needle. This will make sure the thread is properly in the tension discs.

SOURCE: can't get the clutch to disengage so that I can wind the bobbin
Where is the model number on Kenmore machines?
SOURCE: can't wind bobbin kenmore 16221 sewing machine, no manual
On the right side of the machine there is a large knob at the top. Pull that out and you can wind your bobbin. Don't forget to push it back in so you can sew :)

The machine sounds like it has threads caught in the bobbin area thus locking the machine up. Check in there and maybe you can pick them out with tweezers. They may need to be 'softened up' with a little oil before you can get them out!.
also Please push the bobbin winder back to the left position and it will release the bobbin winder. Then you should be able to sew. If the needle won't move, you will need to tighten the turning wheel on the right side end of the machine. This should move your needle. Then you should be set to sew.
