indicates needle thread tension not tight enough
the jamming may be from thread and fluff wound tight around the bobbin shaft an locking it up
remove any threads and other material from the bobbin shaft and bushes
take it in for a service
Check to see if the bobbin case is in correctly. Jamming occurs when something isn't in machine properly. Try taking out the needle & manually turning the hand wheel slowly. It could be just a bent needle too.
Usually, the needle & fabric will release if you are able to remove the bobbincase and the needleplate. You should probably try to do this to remove the broken needle tip, although usually it will drop out of the bobbin area and land somewhere in the bottom of the machine.
Try the process of elimination. Take out the needle, take off the needle plate, take out the bobbin case. Run the machine. Does if run full speed? You might have to let the machine run for about 5 minutes. If it runs slow or you hear it slow down, you might have a bad connecting link between the needle bar and the main shaft counter weight. They seize up sometimes. (Shop Repair).
Thread is caught in the hook...Remove the upper thread and bobbin case, turn the hand wheel backwards and forwards by hand and remove the thread remands
