bobbin thread doesn't get stitched into a line of quilting.
Lower your presser foot. Lowering the presser foot engages the tension discs on your sewing machine so you can make a stitch.
While holding your needle thread, take one complete stitch ending with your thread take up lever in the highest position. (I manually turn the hand wheel through a complete stitch.) Still holding the needle thread, raise your presser foot. A small loop of bobbin thread is now looped around your needle thread.
Tug on the needle thread to bring the bobbin thread to the top. Sometimes it is necessary to use the blades of your scissor or a seam ripper or something long and thin to bring all the bobbin thread to the top of your quilt. Reinsert the needle into this hole and begin stitching.
