One of the first clues that you need to clean your machine! All gunked up underneath. Do it according to instruction book or take to a repair shop for a good cleaning.

SOURCE: My Singer model 7466 will not pick up the bobbin thread.

I have a singer 7466 that won't sew. I have removed & replaced the bobbin case several times and re-threaded several times and it just won't work. I'm afraid I'll burn the motor! What do I do?

SOURCE: top thread will not pick up bobbin thread makes a big loopy mess

This is sometimes caused by the upper thread not threaded correctly. You need to thread it first with the pressure foot in the up position. You need to "floss" the thread into the clear plastic guide as this is where the tension is. The tension should be set to E for embroidering. Also make sure you get the bobbin thread in the slot on the bobbin case. Also, lower your pressure foot before you begin embroidering. Hope this helps!

double check the upper and lower tensions they often need to be changed to suit types of fabric and threads

I have a brother ls-2150 I can't pick cotton up from the bobbin

Try installing a brand new needle (verify it is installed correctly). If it still does not pick up the bobbin thread, the needle/hook may be out of time, requiring service.

My Bernette 715 isn't picking up the bobbin thread and is getting jammed. Any ideas what's wrong?

First thing to always try: Install a brand new needle. A dull, worn, or bent needle will cause great frustration. It is also the least expensive resolution to most problems.

Second: Remove all the threads. RAISE the presser foot. Rethread from the beginning making sure it is threaded correctly.
Pull up the bobbin thread before beginning to stitch and hold the thread tails in the left hand while slowly taking the first few stitches:

The bobbin thread won't pick up

this is all i can find out for you so not sure if this will help you out.
If it is not in the correct position, the needle will not go down and pick-up your bobbin thread. ... Also, make sure your bobbin is in correctly (not backwards) and that the upper tension disks of your machine arethreaded correctly. Make sure the presser foot is upwhen seating the thread through the upper tension.

JUKI BOBBIN THREAD WILL NOT FEED

Most machines require that the bobbin in the case unspool in a certain direction its considered common knowledge I guess because it doesn't seem to be written in the text of manuals... but is indicated in the photos. make sure it's unspooling correctly.

Secondly. Please make sure you have the correct needle for your machine. Some machines do not use a 15x1 (most common needle) Let me show you. (see photo below) Clearly the 241x1 won't fit into your machine. BUT the 15x1 will go into the machine that requires the 20x1.... and the result is it won't pick up the bobbin thread.

Start there. Then check your timing.

LS-1520 Brother sewing machine hook pick thread up takes it around half way and gets stuck...any ideas. the timing seems to be right??!!

try changing needles
clean under the needle plate & in the bobbin area for loose thread or lint
make sure the bobbin is inserted into the bobbin case correctly--if the
machine won't pick the thread up from the bobbin correctly take the bobbin
out of the case & turn it around & try it that way.
