Why is my sewing machine not picking up bobbin thread?
First, make sure the bobbin-winding spindle (located on top of your machine) has been pushed back to the left for sewing. If it is not in the correct position, the needle will not go down and pick-up your bobbin thread. If the timing is out, the needle thread is not meeting the bobbin thread in time to form a stitch.
