How do I adjust the bobbin case to where it will rotate and the upper thread will pick it up???
Hi. This may sound silly, but the most likely reason the upper thread doesn't pick up the bobbin thread is that the needle is in backwards. (Sounds silly, but it's true!)
Needle shanks have a flat side and that flat side has to go in a particular way for your machine. With most modern machines, the flat side goes to the rear, facing away from you. Check your manual to be sure.
The second most likely reason is that your needle may be bent. Check that your needle is straight (or just use a new one).
Hope this helps!
Happy Sewing,

- You could be holding the needle thread too tight.
Hold the thread lightly to keep the end from going down into the shuttle.- The needle could be thread incorrectly.
Thread the needle eye from the front to the back.- The needle could be bent or improperly inserted.
Install a new needle with the flat side of the needle facing the back.
