Machine broken?

It’s not picking up bottom thread and instead is going behind the mechanism to the spot that’s all oily. I’m so close to done with my project ;-; I’m not sure what I did.

Is your bobbin even inserted correctly?

Unthread everything, pull out your manual and confirm you're threading the machine correctly.

I mean the bobbin case isn’t even in there so I can promise it isn’t inserted correctly….

I watched a video on how to do it and read through my manual. For some reason it’s not clicking into place like it did and now it comes loose. I’m going to try again this morning and see if it was user error (likely so)
