The problem started with only being able to wind a partially full bobbins, quickly escalating to not being able to wind any thread. Instead of winding a bobbin, the needle tries to sew.
Be sure you are following the instructions completely. However, it sounds like there could have been a problem with the bobbin winding unit since you purchased it. You can probably take it for service--may be covered under warranty if it was just recently purchased.
However, there is also a standalone bobbin winder (Sidewinder) avlb from JoAnn's, Amazon, etc. for $30. They are usually battery and AC compatible. You can wind multiple bobbins quickly without having to unthread your machine and it saves wear n tear on your machine. Verify that your bobbins will work on the bobbin winder--some bobbins (mostly Singer) will not.

You ought to have a 3 mth warantee with this used machine, take it back to the dealer and have them fix this problem...in Australia, consumer law provides that the sale of goods requires that they are "fit for their intended purpose".....there is almost certainly a similar provision where you are........get it remedied soon, as a feature that has not worked since you purchased ....perhaps calling first to ensure you are able to meet with the service person to explain.
I would not recommend you open it yourself until the dealer has looked at it.
If they cannot fix it, ask for replacement or money back.

Did you move it to the right?It has to be against the piece above the wheel.
SOURCE: Singer Sewing Machine model 9224. Bobbin thread
If you turn the handwheel, can you see a metal ring rotating around the outer edge of the bobbin case? If not rotating, broken gear or timing belt off.
If that ring is turning, remove the needle plate and bobbin case. As this ring now rotates, you will a finger on the ring that will pass behind the needle from right to left and it should catch the thread from the eye of the needle. If this finger, the "hook" passes above the eye, you have a timing problem.
Let me know.

Hi, take the top of the machine cover off by removing screws on top plastic cover. Make sure that the rubber ring on the wheel that turns the bobbin threader is making contact with the belt from the flywheel in the back. You may need to see if it turns freely. If not take it off and lubricate it until it frees up and then replace it and the cover.

If the fly wheel is going around then the clutch isn't disengaged to wind the bobbin, you need to pull out the flywheel on your model to disengage the clutch for bobbin winding.
Take thread from thread spool across to bobbin winder thread guide, then back to bobbin and thread the tail through the hole on top of the bobbin. Place bobbin onto spindle on top of machine and then push it against the stop to engage the bobbin winding motor. HOld the thread tail up and start winding slowly until the bobbin core has been covered including the starting point. Stop and trim off the thread tail with scissors. COntinue winding bobbin and give the thread a nudge if needed to wind evening top middle and bottom of the bobbin. A good smooth wind is important. Also don't wind at full speed and keep an eye on the thread reel that the thread is coming off, you don't want it bouncing around as this will **** the thread and stretch then relax it affecting your bobbin wind.
Obviously if you know this and the bobbin winding mechanisim is just not working, then it will need a service/replacement by an Elna repair person.
