When you put he bobbin in the holder make sure that the thread is coming out the right way , slide it down the slot and under the spring and leave about a foot of thread out
for beginners it is advisable to join a local sewing club as practical experience is a fast way to learn
Hello, Linda -
Is your sewing machine a Janome Magnolia 7318? If so . . .
This YouTube video demonstrates how to thread that model of machine, including how to pull up the bobbin thread:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUsT0plWt6Y
The part of the demonstration with pulling up the bobbin thread starts at about 5:00.
Written instructions, with drawings, start on Page 10 of the owner's manual for the Janome Magnolia 7318. If you do not have the manual, you can find it here to download and save it (to print later):

Note: You will need Adobe Reader software (free). Plus, if you save the PDF document, be sure to give it a file name you can find easily - something like: Janome Magnolia 7318.
The section in the PDF version of the manual about pulling up the bobbin thread starts on Image 12.
Best wishes.

Under the embroidery attachement (on the front side) is a lever to engage or disengage the "feed dog control." When embroidering, you need to move the lever to the level to disengage. The feed dog control should only be at the righe side position, or raised when you are not using the embroidery attatchment.

Ensure that you are threaded correctly, set your tension for roughly 4.5 and "floss" your machine when threading by grabbing the thread by the needle immediately prior to threading the needle with your left hand, and the thread on the top by the spool with your right hand; then pull the thread back and forth briefly.
Ensure that your bobbin is in the bobbin case in the correct orientation.
Ensure that your feed dogs are in the "up" position. Many inexpensive machines do not have the option to drop the feed dogs, and I believe your kenmore to be one that lacks the option, but consult your manual just to be sure.
Also make sure you're using a good quality thread. Use a European thread, and definitely avoid anything from the dollar bin or any kind of "dual duty" type thread. Cheap thread causes nasty nasty things to happen to sewing machines.
If none of these fixes solves your problem, let me know; but going through the above will solve 99% of problems like you're describing.
Good luck,

I suspect you are correctly threading the machine but the timing of the needle and bobbin hook is off. When the threaded needle goes into the bobbin area, a pointed hook grabs the thread and loops it with the bobbin thread. Something is catching when the needle starts to come up that is not allowing the bobbin thread to be pulled back through the needle plate opening by the upper thread. With machine threaded and bobbin in place, have the bobbin area open if possible and watch the thread interaction when the needle goes down. To set the hook/needle timing, normally covers have to be removed. Suggest taking it to an authorized Husqvarna Viking dealer for service. You can find the nearest dealer by click on the "Dealer" link at http://www.husqvarnaviking.com
Good luck.

Try some metal bobbins, #15 or SA 156. that seems to help. If, you don't have a manual go to brother.com and download one for free

Yes, the hook timing is off. You need to either take it to a service repair center, or do the timing yourself. If you're mechanically inclined, go to youtube and look for a video by Nilsandkatrina about how to repair your sewing machine. He gives a very good example.
