How do I adjust my bobbin tension
The problem probably comes from not threading the top of the machine correctly. Take a look here: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/22521551 especially at the last pair of photos. The blue tangled thread is on the top of the machine, the red thread in the bobbin. Set the top tension to about 3-4, and rethread from scratch, this time with the presser foot raised. This causes the tension disks to open so the thread can get between them When you drop the presser foot to sew, the top thread is then tensioned and won't make loopy messes.

Needle will not pick up the bobbin thread.
Could the needle be inserted incorrectly? Typically, the flat of the needle shank goes to the back of the machine. Are the needles the correct type for your machine?

Not pulling the materioal thru
Look at your manual, or look around the base of the machine. There is an option to drop the feed dogs. This stops the pulling through action of the machine. You just have to flip a switch. This is normally what is happening.
