Try a new needle--make sure it's the right needle for the fabric
being sewed.
try rethreading the machine top and bobbin --make sure to use
every thread guide
try a different bobbin
it's also possible that the machine could have a timing problem
and needs to be checked

here's a free manual if you need one just click on the link

SOURCE: My Singer model 7466 will not pick up the bobbin thread.

I have a singer 7466 that won't sew. I have removed & replaced the bobbin case several times and re-threaded several times and it just won't work. I'm afraid I'll burn the motor! What do I do?

SOURCE: The top thread is not

Check your needle and make sure it is not bent, needles should be replaced after about 8 hours of sewing and that they are the right size for your project. Also use the same weight of thread, do not mix ie. cotton or polyester. Then check your threading, did some thread get tangled? Or sneak out of a guide? Hope this helps.

SOURCE: singer advance 7422....won't pick

It sounds like your timing is in need of adjustment and unfortunately you need special tools and know how. So, you have to take it in for service.

Bobbin tension is too loose

"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.

Singer advance 7422

My Singer 7422 seems to be jammed. When I start to make a stitch, the thread from the needle gets caught on something on the bottom and the thread goes over the bobbin.

Bobbin case turns in its place

You need to remove the needle plate and take out the bobbin case. Examine it for any rough spots, scratches or burrs. When you find them, you will need to remove them with an emery stick and then buff it with very fine steel wool. Reinstall the bobbin case and the needle plate. Put the bobbin in the machine so that it turns counter clockwise when you pull the thread. Rethread the top of the machine and change the needle. Hold the needle thread , turn the handwheel and see if the bobbin thread is picked up without snagging anyplace. If it's okay, sew away.
