Um, most likely the machine has been knocked out of time. If changing the needle didn't make a difference, the the timing is probably the problem. The needle is arriving at the bobbin at the wrong time to connect with the bobbin thread. Search for sewing machine timing or take it for service.

The problem indicates that the needle thread tension is not tight enough
before threading the needle there should be a resistance to pulling the thread to put it in the eye of the needle

    Did not help. Increased tension to 5 and retreated, still didn't help

Bernett deco 600 won't pull up bobbin thread
First suggestion is install a brand new needle, but since you've already done that... Most likely the machine has been knocked out of time, ie the needle is arriving at the bobbin at the wrong time. Search for "sewing machine timing" or take it for service.

Wont sew thread keeps coming out of needle
Pull at least 6" of thread through the needle's eye and gently holding both thread tails gently when beginning to sew. Might try installing a brand new needle--make sure it is installed correctly. Raise the presser foot BEFORE threading the upper thread.

Pull bobbin thread to the top of the fabric before taking the first stitch.

Brother xl-2600 As I am sewing ( not thick material) the thread keeps breaking, also over seams it is not sewing through. Then, when my bobbin ran out, went to change it and when pulling the needle down...
try changing the top thread tension to 3 or 4

also rethread the machine just in case the thread is hung up somewhere

take the bobbin out & put the bobbin in reverse of what you did before

you said you changed the needle, check to make sure it in correctly,, the flat side goes to the back of the machine, push it all the way up before tightening the screw

Sewing machine will not stitch. The thread goes into the material but does not make a stitch. I've changed the needle, cleaned the bobbin, rethread the bobbin and the top thread.??????????????
Is this the first time you have used the machine? If so you need to bring up the bobbin thread by hand before stitching. Only when both bobbin and top threads are up through the needle plate nad pulled towards the back of machine, will the machine form a stitch.

Brother CS-6000i - the bobbin thread is not coming through in order to make a stitch. I have cleaned the bobbing case, changed needles, re-threaded machine, changed thread, and even changed bobbins. It was...
Check list:

1 - Flat side of the needle is facing the back of the machine.

2 - Threaded machine with the presser foot up - always.

3 - Bobbin thread is feeding from the spool in the correct direction and through the proper guides.

Lower and raise the threaded needle, holding onto the end of the thread.

If this does not pull the bobbin thread up, the timing may need adjusting.

There is a graphic for doing this as sewusa.com or take it into the dealer for service.

Jammed thread.
To address my needle thread tangling (horribly) in the bobbin compartment, I rethreaded the bobbin. I cleaned the bobbin and the feeder feet, I changed the bobbin and the thread. I changed the tension on the needle thread and the bobbin thread. NO FIX! Then, I changed the needle - the problem was fixed instantly. I sewed awhile and then put the original needle back in. No problem. I think perhaps that the problem is being caused by the needle getting out of alignment somehow during sewing. If you are having the same issue, try it. It can't hurt!

Bobbin
Hi Sally,
Don't forget to change your needle too. It may not look bent, but it probably is.
