I have a consew 75T blindhemmer that I bought about 6 months ago and just started using. When I press the motor controller, the machine won't move. The motor is working but won't move the pulley unless I force, and even when I get it to move, it would stop agin when I pause the machine while sewing. Can you help?

Even if your machine is an industrial the thread will jam the machine if there is any stuck round the bobbin case area, you need to check that first, if you are happy there is no thread jammed then you will have to go through a process of ellimination to find out where it is jamming, make sure the machine is oiled, it may be seizing up.
