Stop! Get your camera/cell phone or whatever. Take pictures at each of these steps (to refer to later)
Remove the needle and presser foot (use scissors to cut threads if necessary)
Remove the plates under the presser foot that cover the bobbin and needle through area. Clean any thread/lint, etc from under there.
Get magnifying glass and inspect for additional bits of thread or needle ends that have broken off.
If necessary remove the shuttle race and inspect for burrs, cracks, etc.
replace everything and try moving the handwheel. If it works, it's good to go. If it doesn't take it in.
Now... when you begin sewing any seam. ALWAYS grasp both threads as you begin sewing. This will keep jams from happening and it is a good sewing habit.

The "Bobbin stopper" is in the incorrect position. It moves from side to side in a switch like motion. In one direction, it locks up the machine. That is, you can turn the wheele backwards, but not forward.. The bobbin stopper can be found in the book that cam with the machine. In our book, it is item #9.
