There could be several things that could cause the machine not to pick up the bobbin thread.

 


  • The upper thread could be tangled.
    Remove the thread completely from the machine. 
    The correct size spool cap should be used for the size of the thread spool.
    Re-thread the machine according to the directions in the manual.

  • You could be holding the needle thread too tight.
    Hold the thread lightly to keep the end from going down into the shuttle.

    Thread the needle eye from the front to the back.

    Install a new needle with the flat side of the needle facing the back.
