I am un able to get the thread to pick up from the bottom and I thought dating the machine will determine if I have the correct shuttle for this machine f I am even threading the bobbin correctly can you help.

I was able to get the bobbin wound the shuttle back into place but I can not get the thread to feed through the bottom can you please help me?

Sorry but my crystal ball is broke...
