This should wind the bobbin. This is usually done with the thread out of the needle.
You are not exactly threading the machine when you wind the bobbin. So follow the directions for winding the bobbin, make sure the thread fits under the little revolving wheel, and make sure that the stitch part of the machine is disengaged.
Check to see that all of the thread is out from under and around the bobbin. You may have to take the thing off that the bobbin fits into. Sometimes lint and excess thread pieces will build up under there. Did you check to make sure the wheel that you turn when you wind the bobbin is snug?
