I have lil sew % sew LSS505+. the needle won't catch the bobbin thread so won"t sew.

Make sure the need is in correctly. if it is backwards or turned to one side too much it wont pick up the bobbin thread. If the needle is in right and it still wont pick up the thread then the machine is out of time.

I am having trouble getting my singer 6199 sewing machine to sew. The top thread will not pick up bot thread. I tried changing needle, changing bobbin, rewinding bobbin, rethreading machine & bobbin,...

did you get the needle in correctly--all the way up into the needle holder
& the flat side of the needle goes to the back of the machine

also after you check the needle & it's in correctly it's very possible that the machine is out of time & a sewing machine repair technican would have to retime the machine

The thread keeps breakijng when I am embroidering

It could just be that your needle is blunt and you need to put a new one in. It is amazing how many different problems a blunt needle can cause. Hope its sorted now.
