Maybe it got tired of me using it for the 2 hours straight. lol! I don't have anything magnetic aroung my machine just metal which are my sewing scisors. I have looked on the Singer website and they don't even have my machine on it, nothing in the forums either. I will try calling the 800 number tonight. I have been so stressed out with this that I have been sick with a migraine ever since. :( Thanks everyone for all your wounderful replys.

The red light that you say is not coming on, does that indicate that there is an electrical current going to your machine. If indicates "power" and it is not coming on then it sounds like your machine is not receiving the electrical current.
Try plugging a blow dryer into the same plug as your machine is plugged into.
You may have blown a circuit...or a fuse. Or there may be something wrong with your foot pedal.
If you are able to hand turn your needle to go up and down then it sounds like all is intack in that department.
Sorry for you problems. I can not sew for a week but let my machine be in the shop and I have all kinds of projects that I want to work on.
Good luck..

I think she said that the red light is blinking like crazy...but I will have to read through the back posts to be sure. Isn't it frustrating when something that new, should work but for some unexplained reason, just stops working? I would not have been so patient, I would probably have whacked it several times by now!
