I've re threaded every thing and changed the needles but the stitches won't catch and sew on the fabric
It's possible that the machine has gone out of time & needs to be serviced

Make sure you have threaded the machine from right to left, it sounds like the needle thread is trapped under the lower looper thread and cannot form a stitch.........start the threading over from scratch like this:
Is there a diagram for how to thread on the inside of the door ?
Follow that slowly and carefully to make sure you have not missed any thread guides on the way, as each one needs to be followed through to ensure correct tension and thread progression.
If you are certain that all threaded correctly, did you have a fabric jam and pulled it loose ? If so, the timing may well be affected.
Post an update and we'll get this right.

The solution that I found last night was the thread tension. I have never touched the dial, only had it set on 'auto." When I started playing with it, I realized the top thread should be really easy to pull through the machine and it wasn't. I started turning the dial (to 3 or 4) and the thread slid through the machine perfectly. No more birds nest! I really thought it was bobbin initially because of the horrible sound it was making.
SOURCE: NEEDLE KEEPS COMING UNTHREADED WILL NOT CATCH IN FABRIC
Most machines need to have the thread extend to the back of the machine in order not to come unthreaded.

Make sure you are threading the machine correctly and it has the proper tension. Also check the bobbin the thread has to go thru the little lash
SOURCE: stitching loose. won't thread the fabric
try to rethread the machine all the way back to the spool of thread and check the top and bottom tensions on scrap of same fabric
