Hi Vicky, I hope this helps you: 1. Remove the slide cover plate by sliding it toward you, and lift up the bobbin and the bobbin case from the machine. 2. Put the bobbin pin into the hole on top of the hand wheel and place an empty bobbin on the bobbin pin (spindle). 3. Lift the large spool pin from the back of the machine and place the spool of thread on the large spool pin. 4. Place the bobbin winder tension clip into the hole in the back of the machine. 5. Pull the thread to the left and pass it through the bobbin winder tension disc. 6. Insert the thread through the hole in the bobbin from the inside out and leave about 3" of thread out. (ensure that the hole on the bobbin is facing upwards) 7. Hold the end of the thread and start the machine, either by pressing on the start button or the foot control. After the bobbin winds a few turns, stop the machine and cut the thread close to the bobbin. (Cut the thread end that is protruding from the hole at the top of the bobbin). 8. Start the machine again and continue winding until the bobbin is full or the quantity of thread is enough for your needs. 9. Stop the machine and cut the thread. Remove the bobbin from the bobbin pin. 10.Take out the bobbin pin from the hand wheel and push back the large spool pin into the slot in the back of the machine. Good luck :)

when you insert the bobbin into the bobbin case and insert into machine, make sure there is a long tail coming out of the bobbin. Thread machine correctly and when trying to "pick-up" the bobbin thread, make sure you are spinning the flywheel the right direction.

just buy a new bobin

bunching of thread under the material means that there is no upper tension. make sure the upper threading is correct.

try changing the needle

clean under the needle plate area & the bobbin area for lint or loose threads

Hello

1) Check the needle - Make sure that the needle is undamaged and is the proper size and type for the fabric you are using. For help selecting a needle, refer to my article Sewing Machine Needle Types. Even if you recently changed your needle, the earlier jam may have damaged it slightly, so if you are still having problems sewing, change it out.

2) Change the thread - It is always best to use higher quality thread rather than bargain bin thread because cheaper thread has a looser spin and snags more easily. This can cause problems as the thread moves through the tension disks and the eye of the needle.

3) Check the thread path - Another problem that can crop up sometimes is the thread becoming caught in the top of the spool as it passes by the thread end catcher (the little notch in the plastic rim of the spool). To avoid this, make sure you turn the spool so the notch is pointing away from how the thread feeds off the spool.

Re-thread both the bobbin and the needle.

Depends what you want to sew, size 9 or 11 for delicates, for cottons and poplins size 14 for thicker fabric 16

i was able to find it at www.ifixmachines.com

Ensure you have cotton thread on the bobbin and that the bobbin is placed with the thread counterclockwise. It may also be the needle.
