The needle does not draw up the bobbin thread. In actuality, there are two "needles" used. The one you see, that moves up and down into the fabric, and another, underneath, which pushes the bobbin thread through a "loop" in the thread from the top needle. When the top needle begins to raise up, it pulls the threads tight. If your problem is that the top needle goes through the fabric, but does not "sew" it, first check to make sure the bobbin has thread in it. If it does, then check to make sure the machine is threaded properly. If it is, then the problem sounds like the bottom "needle" is not meeting the top needle at the precise time to push the bobbin thread through the loop. This is called being "out of timing". Just like in a car, all the cylinders have to be in the right place at the right time to make the engine run. Same thing in a sewing machine. The needles and the thread have to meet in the right place at the right time to work properly. If you are out of timing, unless you know alot about your machine, it will require a repairman to remedy this situation.
What else can I help you with?
Feeds thread from spool to needle?
The thread moves from the spool through the needle to make stitches on a sewing machine. The thread take-up lever is what feeds the thread from the spool to the needle as it moves up and down.
Why must the take-up lever move up and down as you sew?
The take-up lever ensures proper thread tension by pulling the thread from the spool and feeding it steadily to the needle. It moves up to pull the thread tight while the needle is out of the fabric, and then moves down to release the tension as the needle enters the fabric. This motion helps create even stitches and prevent thread jams or breaks.

What does thread take up do?
Thread take-up refers to the mechanism in a sewing machine that controls the amount of thread released from the spool to create stitches. It adjusts the tension and length of the thread as the needle moves up and down, ensuring even stitching. Proper thread take-up is crucial for achieving consistent stitch quality and preventing issues like thread tangling or breakage. Adjusting it can help accommodate different fabrics and thread types for optimal sewing performance.
