You will have to wind the end of the thread around the bobbin a few times for it to grip first. Or even hold the end till it grips and winds naturally.

For $29 at Hancock, Jo Ann's or Wal Mart you can get a thing called a Side Winder that will wind your bobbins without using the winder on your sewing machine. It has the additional advantage that you can wind while sewing. I use it even with machines that will wind bobbins.
1 Release the stop-motion knob on the right side of the sewing machine by turning it oward you.2 Place a spool of thread of your choice on the spool pin located toward the back of the sewing machine.3 Pull thread from the spool through the threading knob on the top of the machine.4 Pull 2 to 3 inches of thread through one of the holes on the bobbin. Hand-wrap thread around the bobbin in an anti-clockwise direction five or six times.5 Place the wrapped bobbin on the bobbin spindle.6 Push the winder spindle to the right, against the stopper, and depress the foot pedal to begin winding.7 Wind bobbin until completed, then return winder spindle to its original position.8 Tighten the stop-motion knob.
I could not find any information on this model, but if it is a self-winding horizontal bobbin where the bobbin remains in the bobbin case as it is being wound - it could need repair.
Re-check your manual to make sure every step is working to set-up for winding.
If it still does not work, call a machine repair professional for an estimate. It could just be the timing needs adjusted.
Recheck the top thread and bobbin tension for equal balance of thread when sewing. The knotting of thread problem is usually because the tensions are too tight or too loose and/or thread may not be properly threaded. Another reason is when the bobbin thread is wind imbalanced it will cause the thread to knot-up when sewing. This problem is notorious when the bobbin is winded within the bobbin case on some machines. The bobbin thread need to be wind smoothly in the bobbin to avoid this problem.
I just bought my White sewing machine used and the model #967.I had problem winding a bobbin so my husband helped me. what I had to do was hold the arm with the bobbin on up agains the wheel. I know it seems to be a pain but this machine has all kind of attachments.
