Try turning the wheel to the right end manually----briskly back and forth to loosen thread that are caught in the bobbin. Remove bobbin and clear threads. If none, remove plate below needle to see if thread or fluffy threads are clogged below. No good...have it serviced by a professional.

SOURCE: my sewing machine keeps getting jammed when

Hello,
Here are a couple of things to try.

* Un-thread your machine and remove your bobbin. Clean any loose thread or lint out of your
bobbin case. Re-thread your machine, reinsert and re-thread your bobbin.

* Change your bobbin
There could be a nick along the edge of your bobbin spool that’s catching your thread as you
sew.

* When you start to sew a seam, grasp the upper and bobbin thread tails. Hold them back
and out of the way as you sew your first couple of stitches. This will keep them from getting
caught in your machine.

I hope this helps.

SOURCE: Needle & Bobbin out of sync

This description sounds like the machine is out of time. The needle should match up with a cut out section in the bottom of the bobbin area. If it is hitting, the timing has slipped, probably from sewing on a fabric that was too heavy for the machine.

SOURCE: singer stylist sewing machine 534 is not stitching

Feed dog drive gear(2) are plastic and are probably stripped. Always replace them in pairs. While you are at it replace both hook drive gears as well. It will run as good as new.

SOURCE: needle hits inside of bobbin case.

IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER MACHINE TO COMPARE YOU TAKE THE BOTTOM OFF SLIP THE BELT OFF AND THEN LINE UP THE MACHINE THATS OFF WITH THE GOOD ONE AND PUT THE BELT BACK ON. THIS WILL SET THE TIMING RIGHT..

The needle on my sewing machine will not move up and down, the handwheel is a little tight and the bobbin winder wont move, how do I fix this?

You are jammed up with thread or material. Clean it out, rethread, wind a new bobbin. Oil your machine and put in a new needle. When you sew, hold the thread ends when you first start out sewing for about 4-5 stitches. Read your manual, watch your dvd on instructions

I was sewing and all of a sudden it started to slow down and stopped. Have tried to sew again and sounds like it is jammed. I have taken machine apart and there is nothing visible that can be in the way....

Hello,
Please try removing the bobbin case and then move the wheel. It is very likely that the bobbin case came out of place and causing the machine to lock up.
Thanks,
Pat

Balance wheel is totally jammed

machine was working fine when suddenly it just jammed up. Everything seems to be fine, but the balance wheel is completely jammed rigid. I've looked at the shuttle and there are no thread jams at all. The needle moves fine from side to side with different stitch selections, but wont go up and down with the wheel.
I have tried looking in the machine, but I can't find any thread jammed.
