My Singer Quantum CXL seems to be jammed

I was in the middle of some light machine quilting (just a straight seam - nothing fancy) when my machine seized up and stopped working. When I press the pedal, it makes a nasty grinding sound and the needle moves ever so slightly side to side, but never down. The wheel will turn about one full rotation, but them stops without moving the needle. I've tried cleaning, lubricating, removing and replacing the needle and presser foot, re-threading - all to no avail. No one local will work on a computerized machine. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Cxl manual

User's Manuals, including yours, are available as a free download the Singer Sewing Machine website. Actually, when you enter CXL you get the XL-50 user's manual, which is essentially the same machine, although a few of the patterns may be different. The CXL, XL-50, XL-10 and XL-1 are basically the same machine; I own a CXL and XL-50, and love them. They can sew SIDEWAYS--straight AND zigzag stitch!

I'm looking for a darning foot to use on my Quantum CXL so I can do free motion quilting. Is there one available?

You will have to remove the adapter for the clip on presser feet to use the darning foot - http://www.sewingmachinesplus.com/pd60-4021.php same as you would to use the walking foot.
