Hello Beth
Check the following:
1. Make sure that the needle being used is the correct needle for this machine, refer to page 6 of manual.
2. Yes, insert all the way up ... with flat to the back.
3. Make sure that correct bobbin is being used for this machine. Bobbins not specific for this machine may/will cause problems.
4. Make sure that the bobbin is correctly inserted in the bobbin case. Refer to page 26 of manual.
A free downloadable manual is available at Singer Fashion Mate 248 Instructions Manual Page 31
Please give me a thumbs up if this is helpful, otherwise please send me more information.
Happy stitching

SOURCE: needle hits bobbin case...
If the needle hits the bobbin case the are only 2 things that could be wrong. Lets hope its the easy one, there are more than one length of needles, if the needle is to long or it is not all the way up in the neelde bar, the needle will hit the inside of the bobbin case. Now if that is not the problem then the machine is out of time. ALWAYS check the easy stuff FIRST.

I had this problem when I first bought my machine. I took it in and they told me it was a recall problem. All the machines were having the same problem. They fixed it and I have not had the problem since. I bought mine at a Joanne fabrics. Hope this helps.

Check the timing of the needle to the hook.

SOURCE: needle hitting bobbin case model 750
This is a timing problem the hook timing needs adjustment, and possible the needle timing also
SOURCE: Bobbin won't spin to allow needle to catch thread
sometimes when you break a needle it can cause the machine to
jump time, the machine would have to be taken to a sewing machine
shop to be checked by the technican
