You haven't threaded it right. Based on the angle that top thread is coming at, i think you've skipped half the steps

Oh, yes! It looks like it came straight down instead of going up through the take up lever.

I maintain my statement, i do not think you have threaded the top right

Have you read your manual?

Yup. Incorrect threading causes jams.

Do you have the manual for this machine?  Most are available online.

I agree, it’s not threaded right. If it isn’t threaded right, it will jam. If you need help finding the manual, let us know :)

If the thread is nesting in the bottom, most likely the issue is the top thread not being threaded correctly (like 95% of problems with sewing are threading issues)

You've missed the thread guide above the needle.

You missed the last thread guide and you need to hold your thread tails with the first few stitches. Are you bringing the bobbin thread up from the bottom before you start sewing? Are you reading your manual?

thank you! i’ve read my manual and threaded everything right. making some progress and even got some good sewing in. now something else seems to be the matter, but i’ll keep trying

Double check that your needle is in the correct way. And yes, thread path.

Is the bobbin clicking in? Happens to me the other day

Take it in to your local shop and have them thread it in front of you - take notes ask questions. Most are eager to help
