How do I raise the stuck needle in my baby blue Singer model 347?

I had just finished sewing, clipped the threads, and was getting ready to unplug the machine, when I accidentally touched the foot petal and it sewed a couple of stitches without any cloth in it. The needle stuck in the down position and I cannot get it to raise up even when turning the wheel. What could cause this and how can I get the needle raised again?
