I moved the stitch length dial to 0 and now i cannot move the dial at all (it seems "locked") and the reverse lever doesn't work (you can move it but it is not working either). Both of these problems occurred at the same time.
SOURCE: reverse stitch
On the 8280, the lever for reversing the stitching appears to be on the front of the machine, above and slightly to the right of the needle.

Are you certain that the pattern selector is set for straight stitch and not buttonhole?
Turn the handwheel so that the needle is up and the take-up lever is in it's highest position. Then turn the pattern selector knob through all of the patterns back and forth a few times. Finally, select straight stitch and see if the length works. If not, need to take it to a repair person to determine the course of action.

Is you presser foot down all the way? Have you looked at your manual for dial settings? I was kind of confused when I saw how you had to set you stitch selector, double check that it is on the lines with the circle in the middle and not on something else. If, that don't work, take it back to the where you bought it.

I think that it is your timing messed up and you have to take it in for service because it requires expertise and special tools. Unfortunately, it is usually expensive unless it is under warranty.
