Be sure your needle in in correctly. Front loading bobbins usually means the flat part of needle goes to the back. Side load bobbins, flat to the side. Hope this helps. God bless, happy sewing.

you have to make sure the bobbin thread is positioned right in the middle. When the needle comes down (into the bobbin compartment), you can peer into the bobbin compartment and see a loop of thread (coming out of the needle). You want to catch that bobbin (thread) in the loop of thread (that runs from the needle).

Does she have the right needle in? If the needle is to short it won't pick up the thread. If that is not the issue than it could be timing

Sounds like the take-up lever is not threaded.
Remove the thread from the machine, turn the handwheel until the take-up lever is at its highest position, raise the presser foot and rethread the machine. Set the upper tension dial to 5 and retry.
Testimonial: "cheers machine running fine now only occaisional jam , but mostly smooth "

did you put the bobbin thread in the tensioner? that would be the cut in the side of the bobbin case to pull the thread under the tensioner. if not it will cause problems. but if the top thread is looking good then the top thread is the problem, thread the machine with the presser foot up to let the thread into the tensioner, if it looks good on the top and not the bottom it is the upper thread if it looks good on the bottom and not the top it is the lower thread

Try a new needle first failing that you may need to retime the machine, you can email me for an attachment of instructions [email protected]
