If your sewing machine won't turn on
first check the power cable if it is securely plugged into your sewing machine and the wall outlet. (Please do this cautiously).
If your sewing machine has an on/off switch, make sure it is set to "ON" after plugging in the power cable.
Always switch your sewing machine off and unplug it completely after you finish using it
