when the feed dog doesn't work it is usually that I haven't seated the bobbin case right. This happens to me all the time. Usually when I take it out and re-seat it, and get the click everything works again. Not 100% sometimes it is way to linty, but most of the time it is the darn bobbin case causing me conniptions.
