Did the paperwork include a manual? Is the flat side of the needle in the correct position? Did you follow the directions (if you have the manual) for threading both the upper thread and the bobbin. If you have an ALB, I believe the flat is on the right and threads from left to right. The upper thread may be a little tricky to get it through the tension discs and check spring. Also the bobbin can be a little fiddly to get threaded correctly. Just a thought - are you turning the hand wheel the correct direction? If it is an ALB, the hand wheel turns away from you - clockwise if you are looking straight at the hand wheel.
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a

I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
