When i press the pedal on my sewing machine the pedal doesn't move. Sounds like the belt is working really hard but not catching. I can manually spin the knob and make it spin. Is this an easy fix?

It most be the belt. some belts have knots to catch the wheel. same use smooth belts. check to see which one it uses.It may have stretch out get a new one.

If you don't have any movement or hear the machine attempting to sew, you may have a burnt out pedal.
You should hear a slight hum when pressing on the pedal. If you don't hear a hum, the pedal is probably dead.
These can usually be ordered from the merchant who sold you the machine.
Nov 8, 2013 - We have a Brother Limited Edition Project Runway Sewing MachineRefurbished LS2250PRW.

You don't say whether your machine is newer or an antique. The model number would really help your helpers help you.
Let's work on your vocabulary a bit: A presser foot, is what holds the material down so the feed dogs and move it through the machine. The foot pedal is pressed to make the machine go. ;)
However this sounds like a machine that needs service... by your explanation of how you change the speed to fast and run it fast... it sounds like one of the modern electronic machines. Since modern machines don't have oiling and greasing guidelines I suspect your machine I well overdue for servicing. Find your local sewing machine tech and take it in. Ask for a "Clean, Oil and adjust timing" and be sure to mention the motor issue. While he's there ask him to check the belts and replace if necessary.
:) welcome to the world of industrial machines. The good news is they are typically simple machines.
It is a good habit to take a few minutes to clean and oil your machine before you start sewing. Look for the oil points and give it one drop of quality sewing machine oil in each port.
Now let's try to determine why the hand wheel isn't turning. Loosen and remove the belt from the large reducer wheel under the table to the sewing machine. Try to turn the hand wheel. If it does turn.... Good! If it doesn't turn... we know the problem is in the the machine head and not the wheels below.
Make sure there is no bobbin thread or upper thread. Try to turn the hand wheel again. Anything?
Look carefully at the machine... is the take up lever bent? (personally had this happen with friends helped me move a big machine like this.)
Keep working this way... inspecting the machine until you find the problem. Good luck
The needle on my sewing machine won't move. The pedal makes a noise but nothing happens. The hand wheel doesn't turn either. Please help this is the first time I have tried to use it and disaster
i mean the needle not the pedal. oops :)
