How do i get the foot to work

SOURCE: Sewing Machines blues

Almost all home sewing machines are a fixed presser foot type - the cloth is fed by the serrated ratchets on the bed under it. Expensive walking-foot sewing machines do have a walking foot in addition to the lower serrations. Those usually start at $1000and up.

What type of material are your trying to sew? If it is stretchy, or thin put some gift wrap tissue paper under it to stabilize it. Also, adjust your tension to about 2 or 3. Now check your needle, put a fresh one in, maybe a 9 or 11. Do not use old thread, either because it breaks easy. Try this, I hope that it works for you. You can buy stabilizer, pellon but tissue paper is what we used years ago, sometimes even computer paper. Good luck.

I think that you need a new motor, I saw one online for $90 and it looks like it would be easy to install yourself, mostly plug in and bolt to the machine, I saw it on www.sewingpartsonline.com but there are other sites,

Make sure that you pushed the bobbin winder all the way to the left.

Ok, first of all never do that trying to force it to work thing. It is beeping because there is a problem. Stop... unplug it, remove your work and discover what is wrong. (Likely that you've got thread under the bottom of the feed dogs ... but it could be something entirely computer related... since these are computers... they don't like extreme heat OR cold.
