Are you running your thread through the small tension at the upper right of the machine before you run it down to the bobbin? If you are and it is still loose, turn that small white knob to the right to increase the tension on your bobbin thread. If that doesn't seem to be working, pull the two tension discs apart that you have run the thread through, and see if there is a piece of thread or something caught between them that is not allowing the tension discs to close as they should.

You probably will have to go to an expert on this one, your best bet i having a fiddle around and seeing what you can do :)
SOURCE: Bobin winder won't wind
I bought a second hand Brother SE-270D. The previous owner had not used the machine in a very long time and could barely remember how to load the cassette to show me that the machine actually worked; but it is in beautiful condition!!
When I tried to run the bobbin winder at home, the winder would not turn, but the motor made a high pitch winding noise! I took it to a sewing machine repair shop and was told that it was because a rubber ring inside the machine, below the winder pin, had deteriorated after years of non use.
The replacement ring and minimal labor cost me less than $10! (The repair person encountered an E1 error message after reassembling my machine, but he was able to correct that by reattaching the wire connections.)

Either the winder rubber has worn down, or there may be some residue on the winder rubber, ot the winder may have seized through lack of oil which is quite common in that case it will need to be replaced
Testimonial: "This is helpful can I fix it or do I need to take to a repair person?"

Without seeing your manual it's hard to tell for sure, but it is likely that your needle and thread combo is causing the problem. Another thing can be a burr or nick on the presser foot or needle plate. First change change the needle to a different one in size 18. If it still shreds we no it is probably the needle... size up to a 20. If it works... you are good to go.
If that doesn't work... take off the presser foot and examine the needle plate for burrs, stab marks, chips. Also examine the presser foot.
If you find a defect carefully smooth that with some very fine sand paper. and try sewing again.
Good luck
