I see how the screw is held by a clamp and tried prying it out with some force, nothing yet will try some more.

So before it wasn’t moving much whenever I’d turn the wheel, now that I pry’d it out a bit it’s moving. Unfortunately the presser foot is still stuck up. Still moving it up and down trying to force it down but no luck. I’ll try uploading a video today showing what is going on with my dog feed as well. Violent clicks as I turn the wheel and needle is coming up from the dog feed.

Here is a video of the machine. 
 

Thank you to everyone who has been trying to help me out.

@Lgbrs9 Loosen this screw & try to push the bracket it fits into.

I got it to drop. Undoing all the screws probably helped. Not sure exactly what I did, put everything back together started testing the lifter pedal and it got stuck again. Before as I was testing the pedal I could feel it get stuck then would drop down. Wish I could’ve tried getting some stitches in. Will try and get it to drop again and give an update

Release button worked this time thankfully. Some how the stitch length has changed to 0 or the machine isn’t feeding correctly. Keeps sewing in the same place

Walking foot isn’t walking.

Once you get it where it needs to be tighten the screws as tight as you can or it will slip & stick up again.

Once both feet are moving freely (doing whatever that takes), loosen the big screw on the back joint, lower the needle until it is just above the level of the throat plate and feed dog, then push the inside foot down to just hit the plate, and tighten the big bolt to lock it in place. This setting usually gives the best ratio of lift between the inside and outside feet.

The inside foot can’t really be pushed down further. Right now it’s slightly above the plate, the walking foot is lower completely down. Whenever I try to adjust that screw and tighten it only the presser foot lifts

Are there any other screws that can possibly get the walking foot unstuck? I’ve been trying to readjust with the screw up top but only gets the presser foot to go up and down
