You tell nothing, so let me guess

you could have wrong bobbin spool
it may not be inserted properly
your thread is just slipping because it isn't tight on the spool
you haven't engaged the "wind" drive
is the machine running but not winding? have you disengaged the main feed spool?
are you running motor at top speed?

SOURCE: Bobbin won't wind

I have checked the gears underneath and see no missing teeth for the bobbin part. The bobbin "seat" does raise, but does not engage. Thanks

If I understand the problem, the bobin winder has probably lost a rubber 'o' ring.

Unscrew the two top screws and remove the top cover. At the base of the bobin spindle is a metal disk that should have a rubber 'o' ring on it. This will perish over time and break off.

When the bobin winder is pushed sideways into the active position, this should contact the main turning handle thingy (that's a technical term) and be spun around. Check if the bobin 'o' ring is making contact or if it is even there at all. Any sewing machine repair shop (or good automotive store if you're desperate) will have a replacement.

Pass the bitter end of the thread from the inside of the bobbin and up through the hole or slot in the bobbin to the top. Hold on to the thread as it turns to get it going.

Make sure you either tighten the knob or push in the wheel on the right end of the machine, at the hand feed wheel.

SOURCE: Singer Sewing Machine model 9224. Bobbin thread

If you turn the handwheel, can you see a metal ring rotating around the outer edge of the bobbin case? If not rotating, broken gear or timing belt off.
If that ring is turning, remove the needle plate and bobbin case. As this ring now rotates, you will a finger on the ring that will pass behind the needle from right to left and it should catch the thread from the eye of the needle. If this finger, the "hook" passes above the eye, you have a timing problem.

Let me know.

Wont wind the bobbin

It is hard to answer without knowing the make or model, but to wind a bobbin you usually have to disengage actual sewing. For a lot of models this involves depressing a button on the hand wheel so that the needle does not go up and down and the feed dogs do not move.

My machine wont thread a bobbin

You will have to wind the end of the thread around the bobbin a few times for it to grip first. Or even hold the end till it grips and winds naturally.

Why the bobbin wont wind correctly

My Brother has another spindle to wind the bobbin. Be sure to thread the thread through the two loops. I wind the thread around the bobbin a little and then start the machine. I find that using the cutter on the bobbin spindle helps to hold the thread on place.
