Try a brand new needle. Check that the bobbin is loaded and threaded correctly. Change the type of thread you are using--Avoid old or bargain bin variety. If these recommendations don't help, the machine may need its timing fixed. Search for sewing machine timing or take it for service.
1. Clean up any loose thread in the bobbin area.
2. Pull on the bobbin thread while it is out. It should give a tension that is equal to the top tension of three. You'll have to approximate. Adjust the screw tension on the bobbin. It is the screw nearest to the thread exit hole on the side.
3. Put it back in.
4. Now, the top tension should be at about three. If it still allows a little wad on the bottom of the fabric you can adjust the top tension by tightening a small amount and monitor each time you adjust. The wad should go away.
Try installing a brand new needle (verify it is installed correctly). If it still does not pick up the bobbin thread, the needle/hook may be out of time, requiring service.
try changing needles clean under the needle plate & in the bobbin area for loose thread or lint make sure the bobbin is inserted into the bobbin case correctly--if the machine won't pick the thread up from the bobbin correctly take the bobbin out of the case & turn it around & try it that way.
try changing the needle rethread the machine--use every thread guide make sure the bobbin is not warped make sure the bobbin is inserted correctly in the case it's very possible that the timing of the machine is off & the machine would need to be checked at a sewing machine shop
