When the bobbin is placed into the machine, the thread does not catch into the two notches of the bobbin case...what may be wrong and how do I fix it?

My bobbin thread wasn't catching because the tension was too tight, so the needle couldn't catch the thread. This was pretty unclear in the instructions, but I was finally able to find an illustration on how to loosen it. I had to take a tiny screwdriver and loosen the screw for the bobbin, and once I had loosened it and placed it back in, I was able to catch the thread with the needle.

Hello Donna,
Make sure you have the bobbin in the correct way round so it turns anti clockwise
