Randa, I am glad you got your FW straightened out!
Now, there is still someone on here with a FW that won't pick up the bobbin thread - Trish is that you? Anyway, it is probably the needle that is inserted wrong or threaded wrong. Take your needle out and put in a new needle with the flat side to the left - the same way your throat plate looks with the flat side on the left! Thread the needle from right to left - inside to outside if that is easier to remember.
