Unfortunatlly if it will not pick up thread, it is possibly out of time. But before you go changing the timing, make certain it is threaded correctly, the bobbin is threaded correctly. If they are all good see my tip on time a sewing machine.

If you have put a new needle in the correct way round and it does not pick up the thread you may need to retime the machine, if you email me I can attach full instructions.

The only way is to cut it away and if the needle is stuck in break to make things easier.

start with a deep clean and oil. check tensions, top and bottom-stitch should "lock" inside the fabric. make sure you use same thread on bobbin as on the machine. Check needle for nicks or bent. Make thread is threaded correctly, passing through upper tension plate. check tension plate(upper) for rust or lint.

Is your button hole lever down? I had the same problem after sewing a button hole and couldn't figure out why I couldn't return to normal sewing. Once I raised the button hole lever the machine worked again.

Check to see if the bobbin winding settings are still engaged.

You need a second opinion.

Some of the older model sewing machines do require that the eye face toward the right. This would be the side of the needle that has the long groove for the thread to follow down the shaft and through the eye.

I cannot find a manual for a Delta sewing machine, so I would try the needle both directions.

Can you open the bobbin area (bottom spool) and watch to see if the needle and bobbin thread are connecting?

looking for manual for delta nm902

You can use "sewing sources" at this site, or download a manual for the machine - http://www.singerco.com/accessories/manuals.html

For Singer machines, you can look it up by serial number on their website at http://www.singerco.com/support/serial_numbers.html

If you are sure the model number is 7462, the serial number should be located near the bottom of the back side of the machine.

"Birdnesting" occurs when there is no tension on the needle thread to pull the bobbin thread. This is easily corrected by rethreading the machine, following the threading path carefully and making sure the thread is fully engaged in the tension mechanism.
