How do you remove the faceplate on a euro pro 376
Some machines (computerized models) are made so that the outer covers cannot be removed. Are you able to remove the side cover over the needle bar? You may be able to find the problem there. Otherwise, you may need to have service performed. The thread could be hanging up in the tension guides--most likely pieces of thread.
You might try cleaning the tension guides. RAISE the presser foot, loosen the upper tension as much as possible. Then gently pull a length of unwaxed dental floss through the tension mechanism a few times. If that doesn't work, there may be something really stuck that needs a technician to resolve.
Just FYI--ALWAYS raise the presser foot before threading the upper thread. This releases the tension disks so the thread will seat properly.

Machine does not appear to have a button to sew in reverse
try these suggestions
Reduce the stitch length to zero. The machine will stitch in place and form a locked stitch
1) rotate the material and sew over the same stitching. Leave the needle down in the work and raise the presser foot, then turn the fabric around.
2) decrease the stitch length to very small for a few stitches
OR
3) hold the fabric and prevent it from feeding at the beginning and end of a seam, which makes very short stitches
4) stitch about 1/2", raise the needle and presser foot, return the fabric to the beginning position and stitch over the first half inch of seam again. Do the same at the end
