SOURCE: Timing problem

You might have to look at loosening the set screws for the gear on the lower shaft that drives the hook driver gear . Loosen the screws, slide the gears apart, then adjust the hook so it is entering the scarf of the needle on the upstroke. Slide the gears togeather so they mesh again and it should be back in time. There are other factors though such as needle height adjustment which is done with the needle bar and hook and needle clearance (the distance between the needle and hook) which should be about .030. I'm a Bernina tech but many machines work the same principle. Good luck.

The top of the machine is not threaded correctly. First raise the presserfot then rethread the machine. Bottom looping is usually caused by a lack of top tension. There could allso be a bur on the hook.

SOURCE: Machine not working after bobbin installation

Hi, it may be possible that you put the bobbin in the case upside down and its turning the wrong way. Flip it over and try it. When looking at the bobbin in the case from the back and you pull the thread, it should turn clockwise.
Hope this helped as anything else may take a tech to diagnose.

SOURCE: thread caught in hook race

There should be a small screw on the side of your bobbin case adjust it little by little until you get the correct tension.

My top thread will not pick up the bobbin thread. It looks like the hook comes around too late to catch the loop of the top thread?
It sounds like your machine is out of time. Search for sewing machine timing or take it for service.

Needle not picking up bobbin thread and it makes funny loud noise
Sometimes both symptoms are a result of a bent, dull, or damaged needle. Try installing a brand new needle.

If it is still not picking up the bobbin thread and making a noise, take it for service. It most likely has a needle/hook timing issue and the noise could be the needle making contact with the needleplate or in the bobbin area. Continued use could cause the needle to break and flying pieces of needle, in most cases, are not a good thing.

When sewing I am getting a clicking noise with each stitch. I have change bobbin etc. What is this?
Have you installed a brand-new needle? Usually, a bent or damaged needle will make strange noises. You can probably open the bobbin area and hand-rotate the handwheel and watch the needle action. Could be the needle/hook timing is off and the needle is nicking as it lowers to pick up the bobbin thread.

Model 7043 Imperial. how do I pick up bobbin tread?
Install a brand new needle--make sure the flat side is facing the correct direction. Remove all the thread. RAISE the presser foot and rethread everything from the beginning. Make sure the bobbin is threaded properly.

Hand rotate the handwheel one full turn and see if it picks up the bobbin thread. If not, make sure you are using the correct needles.

Open the bobbin door and while watching the needle action, watch when the needle comes down, is it looping to catch the bobbin thread? If it's not, then it could be a needle/hook timing problem.

My machine won't pick up the thread at the thread take-up? What should I do? It is also making a loud sound.
The loud sound suggests that the moving needle and the moving parts of the bobbin system are no longer timed properly>

If this is the case you cannot fix it yourself and I can"t tell you how to do it

A qualified technician can do it>

Sorry I cannot be more help but my layman knowledge does not cover that!!!!!!

The bobbin thread isn't being taken
You state that the bobbin thread is not being picked up by the needle, have you had one or two jams whilst sewing if so then I'm 99% sure you have knocked the cotton pick up hook out of timing potion, the shuttle bobbin sits in the hook case and as the hook rotates in the correct rotation the needle is at it's lowest point and at the same time the pick up hook should just about to go behind the needle as it starts to rise and it's at this point on the way up that the bobbin thread is being picked up, so if the timing as been knocked out of potion it as to be rotate with a little force whilst holding the and wheel and the needle in it's lowest position so that the hook is just and only just going behind the needle and that's it give it a run, normally I would say slacken the clamp screws that secure the hook assembly onto it's shaft, but you can usually get away without doing this it saves time and hassle. Hope you can understand what I have put down as instructions for resetting the hook if it's the case of being out of position.
Happy Sewing

The bobbin thread will not raise with the needle
1. REPLACE NEEDLE W/FLAT PART AWAY FROM YOU.
2. MAKE SURE THE TOP THREAD IS PROPERLY THREADED.
3. INSURE BOTTOM BOBBIN IS ROTATING RIGHT DIRECTION. (USUALLY COUNTERCLOCKWISE) ALLOW THREE INCHES OF THREAD PULLED AWAY.
4. HOLD TOP THREAD W/LEFT HAND AND ROTATE HAND WHEEL TOWARDS YOURSELF. DOES IT BRING THE BOBBIN THREAD UP?
5. IF THE BOBBIN CARRIER IS INSTALLED PROPERLY THE HOOK (POINTED OBJECT) UNDER THE BOBBIN SHOULD "HOOK" THE TOP THREAD AND BRING THE THREAD AROUND THE BOBBIN THREAD. THE NEEDLE AND TOP THREAD SHOULD BE PULLING THE BOBBIN THREAD UPWARDS. IF THE HOOK DIDN'T "HOOK" THE NEEDLE THREAD THE PROBLEM IS THE DISTANCE OF THE NEEDLE AND HOOK APART OR THE TIMING. YOU MAY TRY TO MOVE THE NEEDLE TO THE LEFT SIDE AND AGAIN TRY ROTATING THE HAND WHEEL. IF IT DOESN'T WORK THEN TRY TO MOVE THE NEEDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT AND ROTATE THE HAND WHEEL. IF IT BRINGS THE BOBBIN THREAD UPWARDS IN EITHER CASE IT WILL SHOW A PROBLEM WITH TIMING. THIS WILL NEED TO BE ADJUSTED BY A PROFESSIONAL.
6. REMEMBER TO PUT ONE DROP OF OIL ON THE RACE TRACK BEFORE YOU PUT THE BOBBIN CARRIER IN.

Fix bobbin tension
A couple questions. 1. Is the needle in correctly? This is the most common error. 2. Is the top thread threaded correctly? 3. Is your machine an old singer with a broken hook gear? Put your finger on the rotating hook, press and hold, turn you hand wheel AWAY from you and see if the hook stops rotating at some point in it's rotation. That would be a broken gear.

I think timing is correct because hook catches thread every time, but when the hook finishes its rotation and releases the thread, the thread loop doesnt make it all the way around the bobbin case......it...
the catcher/hook on the bobbin case system loosen or not fix properly probably becoz of vibration or something( check or replace new), then check upper system either tension/ tighten of your thread/yarn or correct..
