Why is my sewing machine foot pedal not working?

This can be an issue with the belt on the machine that is broken, a piece could be jammed or the motor can be broken. The only thing you can actually do now is to open the case of the machine and check the belts on the machine. Try turning the wheel on the machine and see if the parts on the inside are moving at all.
