My sewing machine is stuck in reverse. All I did was change the stitch width and type and now I can't get it to go forward. Any suggestions?

I'm assuming you've already reset the stitch and width settings back to the settings before the malfunction began-that would be step one.
You don't say if your Necchi is a computerised machine, or mechanical. If it's computerised, try 'rebooting' by turning the machine on and then pulling the plug from the mains (outlet in US).
If the two suggestions above don't help, I'd say you probably have a broken gear. Best thing to do is take it to a professional who is familiar with your model.
Don't feel too badly if it is a broken gear-the age, use-hours, and model of machine are what make the difference if you have been conscientious about good maintenance and handling of your machine. Necchi sewing machines are tough little sewers, but can be a bit fussy.
If yours is an older machine but has plastic parts to the gears, time has taken its toll.
Its a common problem and you should try working the control back and forth and check under to see if thread or lint is stuck in any of the gears. put oil in where recommended. If all else fails take it out to a well ventilated area and soak it down with Tri-flow or similar gear cleaning aerosol lubricant. Leave it for 24 hours and then come back and finish the cleaning and oiling. If nothing is broken it should work fine.
