Hand wheel won’t turn

[Robbinsbobbins 17]

My George blew a fuse when a needle broke . I have replaced the fuse but now the hand wheel is stuck, motor runs, but nothing moves. What do I do? And of course I’m finishing a quilt for Christmas.

Did you find the broken piece of the needle?  If you didn’t I’ll bet the tip is jammed in the hook. Try rocking the flywheel back and forth mostly backward to get the piece free.  Let us know how you make out.
