SOURCE: PE-3000S Pacesetter won't pick up bottom thread

try changing the needle
also rethread the machine
clean under the needle plate & in the bobbin area for loose threads or lint
if these suggestions don't help the it's possible that the machine has jumped time & needs to be serviced

Hand held sewing machine

I think you are saying no stitch is formed also referred to as the needle not catching thread. Below offers a variety of diagnoses and solutions which are straight forward.

Sewing Machine Needle Not Catching Thread

Below is general advice quoted from 6 common sewing machine problems solved:

Skipped stitches are usually due to a bad needle. The needle may have become damaged or bent by sewing material too thick for the needle, forcing material through the feed dog, or hitting a straight pin. If the problem seems to be consistently reoccurring, it may be due to forcing the fabric. Sewers should allow the feed dog to pull the fabric and only use their hands to guide the fabric through the feed. When sewing knitted fabrics, using a stretch needle can help prevent skipped stitches.

Below is a video showing how thread is hooked into a fabric:

I own a Bernina 1260 and am having a problem adjusting my bottom thread (it has loops in it). I have tried adjusting the tension but I still cannot get a perfect bottom stitch.

Hello

You would pull out several long lengths of matching thread from my spool of thread and knot the threads together at one end (to hold them together). Grab the knotted end of threads with your left hand and place the threads(held taunt together) under the presserfoot of your sewing machine.

Select a narrow zigzag stitch that will zigzag over the threads, and holding both the knotted end(Left hand) and the other ends with right hand( holding tauntly), zigzag down the length of the threads.

You can use this for matching button loops, cording for belt loops, or whenever you need matching cord. The thickness of the cord will depend on how many strands of thread you want to use. You insert the loop of cord into the seam, so that when the garment is turned RIGHT SIDE OUT, the loop will be sticking out of the seam and you can put the button through the loop.

Top thread is picked up by hook, but never picks up bottom thread. I know how to adjust needle height. How do I adjust hook timing?

try turning the bottom spool upside down. looking at the shuttle in your palm the thread needs to be on the left hand side winding / facing anti clockwise to catch in the hook see link below for

How do I get the thread from the bottom up so it works

Make sure the machine is all threaded correctly. Then with no material in the machine rotate the hand wheel while holding the upper thread and as long as the machine is in working order and you left a 5-6 inch tail on the bobin thread it should pick it up and bring it to the top.

Wont pick up bobbin thread

Are you certain that the needle is in correctly? If it opens at the front the flat side of the needle should be facing the back. If it opens on the left hand side then the flat part of the needle should be facing into the body of the machine. If top and bottom are threaded correctly and the needle is in properly and fully in position it should pick up. If it doesnt then you "could" have a timing fault.

Bobbin Thread won't come through

Thread the machine and the bobbin. Turn the handwheel towards you with your right hand and hold the the top thread in your left hand pulling slightly to the back of the machine. When the needle goes into the needle plate keep turning the handwheel untill the needle picks up the bottom thread and by pulling the top thread you shold be able to pull the botoom thread through the needle plate.

Practise makes perfect.

Regards

Dupina
