Do you still have the embroidery arm attached? If you do, the sewing function of the machine won't work.

I have had good luck contacting the Singer peoplee themselves. Sometimes it takes a couple of days for them to respond. But, if that doesn't help try this.

Can you go forward a few stitches annd then start?
If not, try condensing your design by 1-2%. This was recommended to me by Singer when I had part of a design that wouldn't stitch out. It did the same as your whole design. I tend to think it is the digitizer, not the machine in my instance. Have you tried another design by a different digitizer?
Hope this helps.

The start switch is the Led indicator buton. You will see it on page 12 of your manual. It is on the right of the needle bottom button.

Good Luck

Hi Vanessa,

Please give me more info in order to help you. Are you trying to use the embroidery unit? If yes, did you send a design to the machine via your computer?

Ask for membership there.

Whenever mine does that, I just press start (the green or red button) on the machine again and mine usually starts back up.

Try turning off the machine and turning it on again. Sometimes this will reset it so it will work. Also, make sure the embroidery foot is in the down position; the machine will pause and "beep" if you haven't lowered it. Hope this helps!
