Hello, I am a beginner in using a sewing machine. The problem is that the bobbin thread doesn't go up to start the sewing process. Actually, if I check carefully : when the needle comes down the upper thread doesn't "twist" with the bobbin thread. The bobbin mechanism seems to work properly because it turns... but the bobbin thread just stays separately and doesn't go up... I am not English speaker and it is difficult to understand some of the answers online but I will be grateful to get any solution that I may try in my case. Thanks in advance.
Have you lowered the presser foot lever? It is the lever behind the needle that makes the foot go down. Do you put the bobbin in the machine from the top of the machine or from the front? In either case, you need to make sure the bobbin thread has clicked into the tension slot in the bobbin case. The bobbin case is the part of the machine that the bobbin sits in. It will have some kind of narrow cut out with a thin metal shaped piece half covering the opening. The thread has to go down into the cut out piece and click down beside the metal piece. You will hear a faint "click" when it is in place. Very hard to describe, but easy to show someone! Write back if this is not helpful to you. Also tell us your machine model.

- 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.
