I would suggest starting fresh, removing upper thread completely. For correct function, every threading point needs to be passed in the correct order. Double check to make sure you have light but firm tension on the thread (having lowered the presser foot, because tension is released when foot is up). Rotate the hand wheel slowly in it's normal direction to check function before attempting to sew.
Good luck!
Good luck!
with kindest regards, Ruth
