I rotated my sewing machine wheel in the wrong direction. It stopped functioning. What do I do?

Depending on the age, maker, and model, you may have just set the machine to wind a bobbin-an easy fix, follow the owner's manual directions for resetting for stitching.
But you might have thrown-out the timing instead, or broken the belt (if a vintage machine).
Checking the owner's manual troubleshooting pages will help you decide if you need to take the machine to a repair technician.
If you don't have the manual, run a search online using the maker name and model number of your machine-the maker may have a free download (most do), especially Singer machines.
If you can't find an online link, post back in the maker and model number and one of us will try to find a download link for you. If your machine is older and isn't a Singer or one of the other very well known names it can sometimes be next to impossible to find those manuals without having a tonne of vintage sites bookmarked-a lot of us are vintage sewing fools, lol, and have those sites on 'speed dial':)
