My machine has hardly been used( has been stored away for a few years well wrapped) thought I would try to get the hang of it again but the hand wheel will not move I have oiled it but no joy so far
Be sure that you only turn the wheel towards you not away or else you can mess up the timing and then you have to take it for service unless you know how to time it. You can check youtube.com and maybe they have a video on how to time it.

Set you differential at 1.0 and your loopers at about 3-4 the needle thread tensions are usually around 5 to 6.
I would also suggest that you place four different color threads on machine to make it easier to adjust all. Now if you are using only 3 threads the same applies.
Also------patience.

Remove the top cover (3 screws) and lubricate with good quality thin lubricant the top shaft running horizontally through the machine. This haft has 2 bushes and is a common source of seizing, especially at the handwheel end.
If this doesn't cure the problem have it serviced by a technician (there are numerous lube points inside the machine and these should be adressed every 12 - 24 months.
