This was fixed last week . I was told thread had rapped around the bobbin holder. Now the problem has happen again
SOURCE: pfaff select 1540 bobbin thread jam
if there is a thread in the hook area try taking a pair of needle nose
pliers to try & get the thread out, if that doesn't work then you might
think about taking the machine to a sewing machine shop to have the
machine checked since the needle will not go up & down & handwheel
won't move
SOURCE: Bobbin holder problem. Needle hits bobbin holder
Is the needle all the way up in the holder? Have you checked the timing with the bobbin and the needle. Look in your manual for needle timing
SOURCE: Needle hits the bobbin holder and doesn't grab the bobbin thread
Also note that using a red band Singer needle will cause this exact symptom. The Singer needle is about 1.5 mm too long for use in any other machine. Ensure that you're using a standard needle. (Schmetz and Klasse are good examples.)
Your machine may also be out of time, which would require professional repair.

SOURCE: thread caught behind the bobbin case holder
Take off the presser foot
take off the needle plate
take off the bobbin plate
take out the needle,
clip bobbin free,
Examine the bobbin carrier on how it fits into place. (important)
Lift out the bobbin carrier.
Each machine is a little different. You may want to take pictures as you do each step for later reference. Use something like an old egg carton or a muffin tin to keep your parts from rolling around or getting knocked off an lost.
Have fun.
