Try looking here for threading diagrams for your machine.

Usually, you thread the needle from front to back on most machines, if that makes sense. Hope this helps!

I would try using a new bobbin case first, yours may be damaged or broken and creating the problem. I think the case should be about 10-15 dollars to buy.

Remove the needle plate and watch for the hook to come around. You want to see were the hook meets the needle. it should intersect just a bove the eye. I posted a tip on checking your sewing machine timing, check it out.

You can go to Clotilde.com and check out their sewing machine feet. They have them based on whatever shank your sewing machine has. They even have diagrams to let you determine what shank you actually have on your machine.

Take out the bobbin and bobbin case and make sure there is no thread stuck round the raceway

1. ep 1 Bobbin winding setup Set up the thread like this to wind thread onto the bobbin.
   
2. Step 2 Turn on the bobbin winder Push this lever against the bobbin. This will make the bobbin winder spin when you press the foot pedal.
   
3. Step 3 Inserting the bobbin Insertthe bobbin into the bobbin case. Make sure the thread is going over thetop clockwise. If you wind it the other way the needle won't be able topick up the thread.
   
4. Step 4 Loaded bobbin case Pull the end of the thread through the **** on the bobbin case to this position.
   
5. Step 5 Inserting the bobbin case Withthe spike up, insert the bobbin case into the sewing machine. On thismodel there is a fold out handle on the back of the bobbin case. Itshould click into place.
   
6. Step 6 This is how it looks when inserted.
   
7. Step 7 Top thread guides Now thread the top of the sewing machine. Leave the spool on the spool holder and thread through this loop.
   
8. Step 8 Now thread through this loop.
   
9. Step 9 Through tension control Run the thread under the tension control knob then snap the thread under the hook just above.
   
10. Step 10 Turnthe large knob on the right until this arm is at the highest positionand then thread the thread through it. Putting it at this positionprevents the thread pulling out of the needle when you begin to sew.
    
11. Step 11 Hook the thread under this hook next to the tension knob.
    
12. Step 12 Thread the last two thread guides.
    
13. Step 13 Threading the sewing machine needle Lick the thread and insert it through the eye of the needle from the left.
    
14. Step 14 turnin the knob Turn the knob on the right so the needle goes down and up once.
    
15. Step 15 Pulling out the bobbin loop Swipesomething under the foot of the sewing machine to pull the loop fromthe bobbin out. If the foot is down, you may need to lift it with thelever on the back of the machine.
    

with all the stuff you say I think that you should try what I do clean it with canned air. Then change the needle you may have a burred or bent needle. and when you clean the machine make sure to use a qtip with oil on it and swab the bobbin holder it may have broken needle piece stuck in it. if after that is done it still not working then adjust the tension taking care to note the positions first.make sure you change only one at a time and put it aback if it doesn't fix the problem and try another position. you may need to try the specialneedle for the fabric (stretchy or jean type)

Not sure if this helps but you may try rethreading your bobbin making sure it's threaded through the tension spring correctly. Instructions are in the manual. http://www.managemyhome.com/mmh/lis_pdf/OWNM/L0305018.pdf
