Mend Singer 6412 Sewing Machine Bobbin

my sewing machine isn't picking up the thread from the bobin?

I have a singer model 6412 and it isn't picking up the thread from the bobbin. I have it threaded correctly and the bobbin is put in the right way too. I do not have a manual as this machine was given to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Before you think about retiming, try changing the needle - sometimes a bent needle will prevent the bobbin thread being picked up.

Hello georgette,
Your machine will need retiming, if you email me I will attach instructions but you will have to get my email address on any answer from page 25 down because this site no longer allows email addresses to be shown.
