Check if the machine is in the bobbin winding mode. To wind the bobbin, the bobbin spindle has to be moved to the right. (The hand wheel will not turn if the bobbin spindle is in this position.) If it is, move the spindle to the left.
If the hand wheel turns, then check for a thread jam. Remove the top thread and take out the bobbin case. Gently turn the hand wheel forward and backwards until the thread comes free of the hook in the bobbin race. Follow this by cleaning any lint from the bobbin race of the sewing machine.
The last possibility is that the belt has failed. This belt transfers the energy from the motor to the needle bar. One source of the belt is http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/motor-belt-singer-007158xxl5.aspx . You can find YouTube videos on changing the belt. There are other parts that transfer the forces form the belt to the needle bar. However, I suggest you find a good sewing machine mechanic if any of these parts fail.
Generally, the hand wheels have a screw at the center that is covered by a white disk. You use a flat bladed screwdriver to "pop" the disk off, and the screw is underneath. If there is no screw, then it's a "force fit" and you remove it by squeezing the wheel together and "rocking" it off.
Your use's manual will not have the information; you will need to purchase a service manual. There are several sites that sell Singer service manuals; just do a Google search to find them.
correct timing is when the needle is fully down and is just starting to go back up
at that point the hook should be just about at the eye of the needle
past or before indicates that the timing is out
way out can be the belt that drives the bottom section and just a bit can be the adjustment for the needle crank on the sliding shaft at the front of the machine
Hi,
By removing the top cover, or the turning wheel cover,
you will be able to see the belt.
If the belt is not broken, then try to adjust the belt tension,
by adjusting either the height of the motor, or the tension wheel.
