HELP!!! I have a new mini sewing machine (Lil Sew & Sew 202) and my handwheel is STILL stuck! The needle won't dip down all the way (so I can't bring the lower thread up). I can only turn the wheel part of the way in either direction. I am a beginner. Please Help

I have a brother ce11000prw and the fabric keeps getting stuck in the feed dogs and will not advance and I have a wad of thread that the machine is literally eating the fabric. Sometimes it will sew but if I have to put in reverse for a couple of stitches it automatically jams.

hey! my handwheel is stiff, couldn't take it down to sew. and am very frustrated with it. what should I do?

Hey sweety, my needle broke and I replaced it, but I did it wrong. I didn't realize it until I began to sew and now it's 100% stuck. I cannot get the wheel to unstuck it, the needle is at an angle, I am in a Christmas rush to finish projects, and I cannot get my project off of it because it's stuck in the needle. I opened the bottom panel to see what it is stuck on, but I do not see the needle at all. I'm afraid to remove parts without knowledge. I tried jimmying the wheel, but it won't lift at all. I tried loosening the needle holder and it won't lift still. What do I do? I am panicking! You know what? I saw one of your comments about the back and forth thing and it worked wonderfully! Thanks so much! But wait. I had been trying to sew all day and whenever I put my presser foot down, the needle breaks. And with it up, it sews, but terribly. What do I do?

My machine is jammed but it's not letting my needle come the whole way up. The arm in the crevice of the s curve won't come up. Any idea? It's a brother machine very similar to yours.

Oh my god! Thank you for this, I never normally comment on videos, but this saved me. I forgot to hook the thread through the loop at the top. So glad I found this video. Thank you ☺️

Hi,
I have a Brother CE 5000 and never had any real issues with it. Yesterday, I was trying to hem something and my machine gave a "clank" and then stopped completely giving me an error E6 (no "thread nest" as you called it). With a bit of force, I got it unstuck, but when turning the arm, it was definitely "sticky". I tried to sew again it and it worked for about 3 inches before seizes again. Husband took it apart, as best he could, everything looked over, but when he put it back together, it was "smooth" again, running like it use too (we don't know what he did). Then, I back-stitched, sewed an inch and it jammed up again.
Now we can't even turn the wheel at all. Can you help? -
Could you please help me? So i was sewing fleece and towels together when suddenly my machine made this low sound and wouldn't go anymore. The hand wheel wouldn't turn just like you said in the video ( There was a birds nest when i took the fabric out to ) So afterwards i could sew again until the same thing happened and my machine wouldn't go, Then my needle broke. This keeps happening after a few minuets of sewing and Im not to sure why. ( The presser foot was defiantly down and the machine was threaded properly) Now i have to keep constantly replacing my needle in the machine. Do you know whats wrong?

Hi,
I recently received a sewing machine, it was fine until I used it to sew some elastic. I have changed the needle, the bobbin and the top thread but still have a problem. When the needle goes down and comes back up the thread is looped through and the main part of thread has come out and it gets jammed. It sometimes sounds like the needle is hitting something too ! Any help would be appreciated thanks -
Can you please help me out, my needle is stuck in my machine and I can't turn the handwheel either way. What do you suggest I do. I have a singer Simple 2263. My handwheel has never turned freely, it seems to be really tight. Thank you for the video.
