I've done it myself often and it's good to be familiar with. Look behind the needle plate, directly above the arm (where the bobbin goes). You will see the bar. Make sure the E-stop is engaged. By turning this bar, you will be able to manually bring the head back up. (Kind of like a sewing machine, and you rotate the wheel to bring the sewing needle up or down). If you find it's slippery, use a rubber glove or something to give you traction. Once the head is back up, turn your machine back on with the E-stop button. It should find home. I would also restart everything from this point as well, just for added sureness that it's all back to normal. Good luck!
