Did the machine get jammed? Maybe the timing belt clutch came disconnected. Look on the bottom of the machine while turning the hand wheel and see if the lower horizontal shaft is turning at the left end. If not, you have to regage the clutch. Let me know if this the case.

Hand wheel wont turn to raise needle.

If handwheel does not turn, you may have thread jammed in the hook. First try to force the handwheel BACKWARDS to try to force thread back out of hook. If handwheel turns, look around hook area and you will probably see a small piece of thread. Remove it with tweezers. To help eliminate this from happening, be sure to hold the needle thread when starting off.

The bobbin won't spin in hook

Bobbin won't spin in hook? .. you may have something blocking the thread 'path'...or sensors? Try threading manually, right through with some unwaxed floss... while the machine is turned off.. or better still.. as you do each thread 'tension' area... check with a flashlight to see there isn't anything lodged (old threads caught anywhere...) when was the last time you had your machine cleaned?

Needle wont go into bobbin

Never EVER turn your wheel backwards... that causes it to go out of time. Take your machine in for Timing.
