Hand wheel is hard to turn

I have a futura ce-250 sewing machine and it won't sew anymore. It will go a couple of stitches and then break the tread. If I turn the hand wheel it will move easily sometimes, but then it gets very hard to turn. I cleaned out the bobbin area and didn't find any threads. The machine is fairly new. Besides stray threads what else might cause this?

Even though the machine is fairly new, it sounds like it needs to be serviced, to see if there are any broken or damaged parts.

SOURCE: can't tighten clutch on Kenmore zig zag sewing machine.

The clutch has fallen off the shaft. Remove the very small screw in the clutch release screw to remove the clutch release. Place the clutch(round thing with ears on it) back on the shaft with the center ears pointing towards the outside. Put the clutch release screw back on. Tighten it to make sure it works
properly. Put the small screw back in the clutch release screw and test it again. If it will not tighten or release properly, remove the clutch ,rotate it180 degrees and try it again.This should solve your problem.

SOURCE: My Kenmore sewing machine model 385.15212 is stuck

I doubt it is a motor problem but it is too jammed up to turn the motor-you are right not to force it. Take out all of the bobbin parts again and leave them out. Now unscrew the needle and while lowering it, into the needleplate hold it tightly and remove it. Clear all thread from the machine and it should now move freely.
Reassemble the bobbin parts and reinsert a new needle being careful to insert it fully and correctly.

SOURCE: Shirring fabric?

When putting your shirring elastic on the bobbin, don't thread the elastic through the bobbin holder,adjust the stitch length longer,and loosen the tension, other wise if you want to put it through the bobbin holder you have to loosen the tension screw on the bobbin holder, and then you have to adjust it back for ordinary sewing,

Singer Futura CE 150. I bought a used carriage unit attachment for it and the it drags really hard. It won't move at all while on the machine or when I take it off. Is there a way to fix it? Thanks

Question edited for clarity.

Do you mean the embroidery unit. If it is secondhand and has been stored for a long time, sewing machine oil, or worse WD40 goes 'gummy'. You would need to clean all the out. WD40 is a good solvent, so spray, leave it to soak, spray again and agitate with a brush. The wash it all off with hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly and after a few days, lubricate metal parts with sewing machine oil and any plastic parts with a dry silicone spray like Jigaloo. Test Jigaloo on a flat piece of plastic first as it is also a powerful fast drying solvent.

How do you know when the feeder dogs are up and down for futura 250

you can see the feed dogs in the needle plate area and be able to feel them with your finger
and the machine will sew a straight stitch when the feed dogs are in the up sewing position
if the feed dogs are down then the machine will not sew only stay in one position

I am trying to embroidery on my futura ce200 and it starts then stops, giving message thread breakage but thread is not broken

I have this problem when the thread isn't locked into position under the clear plastic guide on top of the machine. You have to hear it click 2 times on the right hand side. You have to pull the tread kinda hard. Hope this helps.

Can a twin needle be used with the Futura ce-200?

If the needle plate and presser foot are wide enough to accommodate the double needle, then you can use it.

Make sure the needle position is center and the stitch type is straight stitch.

Hand walk the needle at couple of stitches to be absolutely sure all is clear.

Singer futura beeping every 8 stitches can you solve this .i have changed needles bobbin cases but still doing it but is sewing ok just stops to beep

Make sure your thread goes under the plate of the carrousel. If not the machine think is not threaded and it beeps. Thread the machine with your left hand and Pull the thread with your other hand to make sure it "clicks" to every part of the machine.

Another important detail is to add thread nets to your spool. After some used the tension of the machine is affected and the nets help the slippery thread to be pulled by the machine correctly and avoiding the beeping.
