I know yours is newer, but it doesn't hurt to try, Another thing is to check and make sure you have the right needle for the machine, if its too short, it won't get the thread under the bobbin thread to pick it up. If you can, lift your machine up so that you can see under the sewing plate (I have an old Morse that is hinged at the back of the case, so I can lift it up and then hand turn the wheel so I can see just what the needle and bobbin are doing, that may give you a hint- you can see if the boobin is properly seated in its case, if the needle is long enough to reach below the bobbin thread and if there is something breaking the thread as you turn the wheel) If you still can't figure out what is wrong, take it in to a sewing machine repair place and they should be able to solve your problem. If you use your machine a lot, it should go in every year or so for a tune up anyway. I have an ancient Singer from the 30′s and the needle

I can't remember the number it should be on, sorry. I think it's like a 3 or a 5. Double check the tension on the thread, it might be too tight for it to pull it.

Sometimes a needle will get slightly bent and will miss picking up the bobbin thread. It doesn't take much! Have you tried a new needle in your machine?
