How can I fix my Toyota 4500 Sewing Machine?

This machine was working ok, then suddenly just stopped. It seems to be jammed, nothing moves and can not be moved by hand. The light is on so I assume power is getting through. It is an older model but has not had a lot of use and appears to be in good condition. Well lubricated and clean.

Hello Brenda,
When you press on the foot control if you get a buzzing sound then there is a chance that there is a piece of thread stuck round the raceway, take out the bobbin case and drop the gate down. take out the half moon shape race and find the piece of thread.
