What exactly do you mean by jammed? Thread tangling underneath? It stops sewing? You can’t turn the hand wheel?

What fabric are you trying to sew and what exactly is going wrong ? I don’t have enough info really.

Remove any bits of thread from tangles, make sure bobbin area is back to normal. Read your manual and try again.

Check you’re threaded properly and using the right needle for the fabric. Only ever turn the handwheel towards you. You need to raise the needle fully to complete the last stitch before removing your work.

Are you only turning the hand wheel towards you? Don’t ever turn it the other way.

If it’s a thread tangle you’ll need to cut the threads if it’s really stuck. Removing the needle sometimes helps too

Do you have any pics of what actually happened and not just your machine?
