Look at page 80 of your manual. There's a little finger on the left of the plate that fits in the corner.

So did mine! I found that it made the machine run even when there was no input. If that is your problem then simply open up the controller, and undo the screws to remove the burnt out component (only the burnt one, there are two in there). Reassemble, and it will work again.

Well, you are definitely getting power from the electric plug in. Let's do some diagnostic work. Do you hear anything when you press the foot pedal? Any hum? Did you happen to leave it in bobbin winding mode?your machine doesn't have a "sew" button for use without the pedal. So please rotate the hand wheel toward you as you press the pedal. Did the motor take over and sew? If you know someone with a meter... have them test the pedal. (they will place probes on/in the part that plugs in which tests for shorts, etc.) If that tests ok... then we know it's something more than the pedal and it will need servicing by a Singer Tech.

I would purchase the service manual for your machine. It shows you how to time it. I just checked Sewing Parts Online, who sells service manuals for a nominal price and while they don't have it listed, typically if you call or send them an email they can get it for you in a reasonable amount of time.
