Help...feet won't move and bobbin doesn't turn
#21
sounds like the timing and alot of the newer machines have plastic gears
you can strip them rather easily and costly to repair- and not covered under warranty because they are a wear part!
ask me how I know!
Hope yours is a simpler fix.

Did you check to be sure the feet are lint free?
After sewing too many denim quilts, I had problems Cleaned everything (I thought), re-threaded and still nothing.
DUH- there was so much lint caught in the feed dogs that it was like pulling out FELT from between them. They were so bound up, they couldn't move, so nothing else could, either.
AHHH. Now it works smoothly.

If the bobbin is not doing its thing then you might can see whats happening with it by just turning the handwheel and looking at what is and isnt moving. If you can find it you might could order the parts for it and fix it yourself.
If it were mine that sucker would be apart and me seeing what makes it tick.

I hope so, nothing is made like it used to be. I have a fw221, still works like a dream, a 99K and treadle-love them guess I will be using them while this one is away. Sad thing is, I only use this machine for piecing and binding. Brought the brother out to do the backing of CWIP, which I generally save for embroidery. Hope they don't have it long. I really like it, but with all of the plastic, maybe I should use the 99K instead to piece, I would hate to have to pull the Juki off the frame.

Something similar happened to me on my Janome 11000SE and I was in a panic. I took it in to the repair person. She oiled it and said the wick was missing (that's the little piece of fuzz that looks like lint in the bottom of your bobbin area). Now it works fine.
