Is it my timing pls help me resolve this problem
SOURCE: elna 1600
On a 1600 the bobbing case should not turn. the metal around it should. It should remain stationary.
The part thet turns is called the hook. Is the hook spinning. Is a new needle in the machine? That is where I would start.
SOURCE: Thread tension?
I own this little gem of a machine. It definitely sews a perfect stitch. I'm assuming you own the green 3/4 size machine as denoted by your product number. The half size blue one pictured is incorrect.
Anyway, this machine sews a perfect stitch, due to the oscillating bobbin.
Most sewing machines with rotary (drop in) bobbins don't have an easily
accessible bobbin tension screw, which means your fabric is usually
slightly puckered. Fiddling with only the upper tension helps very
little. This frustrates me to no end for sewing long curtains, clothing
side seams, etc. Wrong tension causes them to hang with puckers, making
them look awful. With the Hello Kitty 3/4 size Janome, there is a screw
on the bobbin case which allows you to adjust for every thread diameter
perfectly. Always a perfect stitch, if you take the time to adjust this
screw.
To adjust the bobbin for a perfect tension, load the bobbin into
the bobbin case and thread it through the guide. Holding only the
thread between two or three fingers, let the bobbin case dangle below.
This will be slightly difficult, because the bobbin will want to fall
out of the case. Don't worry, just don't move it around too much and it
will stay in long enough for this test. If the metal bobbin case slowly
drops lower, unwinding thread as it goes, the thread is too loose.
Tighten the screw on the side of the bobbin case a little (about a
quarter turn.)
If the bobbin case seems to be dangling firmly, give the thread a
gentle tug, lifting up fairly quickly. If it doesn't release a couple
of inches of thread, it's too tight, loosen the screw. You know the
tension is perfect when a quick, light tug of the thread releases a
couple of inches of thread.
SOURCE: Bobbin continues to pose problem - knotting thread underside of fabric,
In 99% of all problems with "bird's nesting" or "knotting" it is an issue of the thread coming out of the take up lever (at threading guide #3) (from the spool; through the first thread guide at #1 down to #2 and up to # 3) when the thread comes out of the take up lever, the machine can not regulate the thread and it floods the machien with thread and wraps itself around the bobbin case. OR! Your tension is too loose. Raise it. Your machine should preform perfect at tension #4 unless you are using speciality threads or fabrics.
ALWAYS be in the habit of threading your machine with presser foot up so that while threading between paths 1 and 2 you are certain to have the thread pass throught the tension disks.
This will happen on a $50.00 machine or a $5,000 machine. The thread needs to be regulated.
USE GOOD THREAD!
Thanks,
Bonnie

I had the same problem and fixed it myself. Remove the portion of the housing that coincides with the bobbin winder. You will need to remove two screws to do this--one is just to the upper left of the bobbin winder itself, and one is hidden under the handle on the left side of the machine (lift the handle, and look on the machine on the left side.) It takes some coaxing to remove the housing, but it can be done--be gentle. If you need to, remove the housing on the left side of the machine that covers the needle assembly. This will make it a bit easier, but still, be gentle.)
After removing the housing, you will see a black metal piece with a elongated slot and a screw adjacent to the bobbin winder mechanism. Unscrew the screw a turn or two, and slide the piece to the other side. Tighten gently. Turn your machine on, and move your bobbin winder back and forth and watch the screen change from bobbin winding to the main straight stitch screen. Now, do a brief Dance of Joy. I hope this helps.

Are you sure you have the bobbin the right way round in the holder....when you look at the bobbin and tug the thread, the bobbin should move clockwise.
Pull out the foot pedal and use bsr2 with the start/stop button.
Bring bobbin thread to top of work before starting to sew. This may help knotting problem
Some sewing machines do a similar "overcasting" stitch but it won't be big like you might want on polar fleece or a blanket edge. The commercial blanket stitch you see on blankets will be done by a special purpose industrial machine and it applies a single thread just as you would when doing a blanket stitch by hand. So look at the stitch selection dial on your machine and see if there is something resembling a blanket stitch but it usually would only be 4mm wide, the maximum your machine probably can stitch. 
You will have a knob with numbers going from -4 to 4, this is your stitch length dial. The negative numbers are "Reverse" normal stitch length is 2.5. The white knob is stitch width when the needle swings from side to side. Straight stitch would be zero, and then higher numbers for zig zag etc. The little wheel gives you different needle positions. And the metal slide at top of case is the reverse lever.
