Picking up the bobbin thread has to be done by manually. Turn off the machine, open the bobbin door, lift the presser foot, hold the end of the upper thread and slowly turn the side wheel till the needle enters the bobbin race and on the way up it will catch the bobbin thread. Pull the upper thread till you lift the bobbin thread too. Put both threads to the back of the machine, close the bobbin door and you should be able to sew.

    no, because i already tried that, and the needle cannot pick up the thread al it does is get caught and then I have to take the needle plate off and clean out the thread caught in there.

    Have you re-threaded the bobbin and made sure the thread goes under the tension spring there and that the bobbin turns clockwise when you pull on the tail of the thread?
    You may have threads stuck somewhere down there, I put the end of the hoover in the **** lint out or use a can of compressed air.
    Are you sewng a very fine fabric which pushes down through the needle plate hole?

    Have you re-threaded the top threads (with the presser foot up), they may be too tight.

My needle doesn't pick up the bobbin thread

If your sewing machine's needle is not picking up the bobbin thread, there could be a few potential causes for this issue. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:
  1. Check the bobbin case: Make sure that the bobbin case is correctly seated in the machine and that the bobbin is properly installed in the case. If the bobbin is not installed correctly, the needle may not be able to pick up the thread.
  2. Check the thread tension: The tension of the thread in the bobbin case and the needle can affect the ability of the needle to pick up the bobbin thread. If the tension is too loose or too tight, it can cause the needle to skip the bobbin thread. You can adjust the tension by using the tension adjustment dial on the machine or by consulting the owner's manual for your specific model of sewing machine.
  3. Check the needle: Make sure that the needle is properly installed and that it is not bent or damaged. If the needle is not seated correctly or is damaged, it may not be able to pick up the bobbin thread.
  4. Check for other issues: There could be other issues with the sewing machine that are causing the problem

Thread started bunching on underside of project & tangling around bobbin. Now the needle won't pick up bobbin thread, even after changing needle 2x and re-threading upper thread. What's wrong?

Hmmm, could be several things.
Try a brand new needle. Try a different brand of thread.
Remove the top thread from the machine. RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning. Verify the thread path is correct.

If it still will not pick up the bobbin thread, the machine could be out of time.

I need help with a white sewing machine model 765 I can't get it to sew it doesn't pick up the bobbin thread

First thing to try is a brand new needle. A bent/damaged needle may not be able to pick up the bobbin thread.

Otherwise, it is possible it has a timing issue, ie the needle is arriving at the bobbin at the wrong time in order to connect with the bobbin thread. Search the internet web sites and videos. There is a lot of information on how to fix sewing machine timing. Or take it for service.

I just received a new Singer CG-590. Have threaded the machine and bobbin. Each time I try to pick up the bobbin thread, the top thread wraps around the bobbin case. It will not pick up the bobbin...

try turning the bobbin the opposite way, and if that doesn't help then take the machine back and get another one, maybe even a different model

The machine stopped sewing, the top thread doesn't pick up the bobbin thread, even when I just installed a new bobbin and try to just run the machine by hand to pick up the bobbin thread.

Have installed your bobbin right? By this, I mean drop the bobbin in but make sure that you pull the thread through the tension spring by putting your finger to hold the bobbin in place, then pull on the thread to get the tension. Let me know if this works.

I have a Janome MB4 and have had so many problems with the tension. I use the same top thread and the same bobbin thread. Every once in a while, it sews perfect. Other times I have so many loops on the top...

Hi!
I was having the same problem(s) and I loosened the tension on the bobbin case and switched to prewound paper bobbins and everything sews beautifully.
Hope that helps!
