Help -- Thread Keeps Tightening And Bobbin Jams? What's Up?

I've rethreaded the top threat numerous times, I've taken out the bobbin and redone.  Machine keeps tightening up like the bobbin is locked?  Keeps giving me error to rethread top thread but that can't be it.  Help....

depending what fabric your sewing,

 change the needle

try adjusting the top thread tension

make sure the spool of thread is not caught anywhere

make sure the bobbin is turned the right direction & that the bobbin thread can

pull from the bobbin case with ease

make sure the bobbin is not damaged

if the suggestion don't help then the machine needs to be checked
