Generally, this is because the needle is inserted wrong or because it's bent. In the first case, the top of the needle (called the shank) has a flat side-this has to be inserted so it faces the back or away from you.
In the second case, when a bent needle stops the top thread from picking up the bobbin thread. Even if you think your needle is fine, change it to see if this solves the problem.

How to thread up a UHT J 1947 m/ward sewing machine

Threading a UHT J 1947 m/ward sewing machine can be a bit tricky, but with a few simple steps, you'll be able to thread your machine in no time. Here is a general guide for threading a UHT J 1947 m/ward sewing machine:
  1. Start by winding the bobbin: Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder and wind the thread around it.
  2. Insert the bobbin into the shuttle: Once the bobbin is wound, slide it into the shuttle, making sure it's seated correctly.
  3. Thread the needle: Take the thread from the spool and thread it through the needle, making sure the thread is coming out of the eye of the needle.
  4. Bring the thread through the tension discs: Pull the thread through the tension discs, starting with the upper tension disc, then the lower tension disc.
  5. Thread the take-up lever: Bring the thread through the take-up lever, then through the thread guide.
  6. Thread the needle: Bring the thread through the needle, making sure the thread is coming out of the eye of the needle.
  7. Thread the presser foot: Bring the thread through the presser foot.
  8. Start sewing: Turn the hand wheel towards you to bring the needle down into the fabric, and start sewing.
It is important to note that the specific threading steps for a UHT J 1947 m/ward sewing machine may vary depending on the make and model. For more detailed instructions, you can consult the manual of your machine or contact the manufacturer for assistance. It's also important to check the manual for the specific threading instructions of your machine before starting.

How to wind a bobbin for a 250 electronic Viking Husqvarna machine

Make sure that the presser foot is raised if you are winding a bobbin with the top thread threaded through the needle. Place the bobbin on the spool spindle with the mark (a stylized H) outwards. Bring the bobbin spindle down. Next pull the thread from the needle under the presser foot to the thread guide on the right. Bring the thread above the bobbin and wrap the thread around the bobbin several times. Cut off the excess thread on the thread knife and step on the foot control to wind the bobbin. When the bobbin winding is finished, remove the bobbin from the spindle. Cut the thread to separate the bobbin thread from the needle thread. Move the bobbin spindle up.

Sewingpartsonline.com has a link to the manual for the Husqvarna Viking 250 on the machine specific parts page (under Manuals), http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/viking-250-sewing-machine-parts.aspx . The direct link to the manual is http://manuals.husqvarnaviking.com/VSM/Husqvarna%20Viking/HVManual.nsf/5bc6115484660075c12575d2003f80e3/ecf97dd171581582852575ed00755e7a/$FILE/Viking%20210,%20230,%20250%20%20x.PDF . The bobbin winding steps are on page 12. There is also a method for winding a bobbin with a different thread from the top thread. See the manual.

I hope this helps.

My 532 wont pick up cotton from bobbin

First, install a brand new needle. Used/worn/bent needles will sometimes fail to pick up the bobbin thread.

Make sure the bobbin is installed correctly in the bobbin case.

If it still will not pick up the bobbin thread, most likely the machine is out of time (the needle arrives at the incorrect time to intercept the bobbin thread). Take it for service or search the internet for web sites or videos dealing with sewing machine timing.

Wont sew thread keeps coming out of needle

Pull at least 6" of thread through the needle's eye and gently holding both thread tails gently when beginning to sew. Might try installing a brand new needle--make sure it is installed correctly. Raise the presser foot BEFORE threading the upper thread.

Pull bobbin thread to the top of the fabric before taking the first stitch.

My sewing machine wont sew. the bobbing wont move. i dont know what to do

Make sure the bobbin is NOT overfilled. Make sure the thread leaves the bobbin in the appropriate groove and the CORRECT direction. Leave the right amount of thread out of the bobbin to start and follow the manual's suggestions

Hold the needla thread for a cycle and bring the bobbin thread up before sewing.
