Needle is not catching the thread so I opened the case and cud not fix it back
SOURCE: I can't raise the bobbin thread. The needle raises before the bobbin thread can 'catch'
readjust the hook to just grab the thread loop as the needle raises it will take a few tries to get the exact setting for the hook (maybe you will see a mark on the hook shaft to show you where the hook's set screw was located before it slipped)
SOURCE: Singer 457 Zig Zag Sewing Machine not catching bobbin thread.
There are manuals avilable online to purchase for the singer machines, SOrry I was not able to locate a site that has them for free.

SOURCE: bobbin thread won't catch with needle thread
check that the needle is in the right way round i.e. with cut out on the needle facing into the machine. if this is fine then check that as the needle comes back up from the lowest point that it goes to, that the point on the bobbin case passes just above the hole in the needle, i.e. in the middle of the cut out.(if not it needs re timing) if threaded a small loop should appear at this point for the bottom bobbin to catch if not slacken the top thread and try again.

I would try to re-thread the machine first, make sure you have the tension thread seated on top and make sure that you have the bobin in properly
