First, ensure that the needle is inserted correctly. Make sure that the flat side of the needle is facing the back of the machine and that the needle is pushed all the way up into the needle clamp.
Check the tension of the upper thread. If the tension is too tight, it can pull the needle thread down into the bobbin area and cause it to get tangled or not catch the bobbin thread. Lower the tension on the upper thread by adjusting the tension dial and try again.
Make sure that the bobbin is loaded correctly. Remove the bobbin case and insert the bobbin so that the thread is unwinding in the correct direction. The thread should be coming off the bobbin in a counterclockwise direction when looking at the bobbin from the top.
Check the tension of the bobbin thread. The tension on the bobbin thread should be adjusted properly. If the tension is too tight, it can cause the bobbin thread to not be picked up by the needle. Adjust the tension by turning the screw on the bobbin case to loosen or tighten it.
Make sure that the needle is not bent or damaged. A bent or damaged needle can cause the thread to not pick up the bobbin thread. Replace the needle if it's damaged.
Clean the bobbin area. Lint and debris can accumulate in the bobbin area, causing problems with thread tension. Use a soft brush or lint roller to clean the area.
Finally, rethread the machine, and try again. Make sure that the presser foot is raised when threading the machine, as this will release the tension discs and allow the thread to seat properly.
If you have tried all of the above steps and are still experiencing issues with catching the bobbin thread, it may be time to take your machine to a professional for further evaluation and repair.
