I dont know about your particular model or brand. But most if not all sewing machines I have used, have worked about the same.
Just thread your bobbin, with about 1" or 2" sticking out, then to get it to come out I've just sewed a scrap piece of material. And voila...

Thread your bobbin with about 6 inches off where it says to come off on the little bobbin picture - there's a slit and a slide-under (use a magnifying glass to make sure you can see the picture clearly!) Make sure that the bobbin is rotating towards you or away from you according to the directions. Insert it under the needle mechanism until you hear a click. Hold onto that piece of thread, pulling it gently to the up and left out into the light. Slowly close the plate (except for an inch) which the material will slide over, and very gently press your pointer finger on the bobbin thread on the plate.
Now is your needle properly threaded and has lots of room so that its thread doesn't pull out when the needle comes down? With your right hand, turn the big wheel on the right of the machine towards or away from you, per machine instructions, so that the needle comes down ONCE and goes back up. When it comes up, you should see the needle thread looped with the bobbin thread.
With your left hand, let go of the bobbin thread and with your right hand pull the needle thread up and to the right. This will pull the bobbin thread up with it. Now close the plate. Pull the two intertwined threads towards the back of the machine. Place a piece of material under the foot, lower the foot. Make sure that the threads are straight back, not tangled under the foot. Use your right hand to start the wheel moving on the right side of the machine, then put your foot on the electric pedal, and off you go!! Slowly at first. Every machine is different, but I hope this helps.
Good luck!!

If the top thread and the bobbin are both loaded/threaded properly (as per your manual), make sure you have at least a 2" end, and all it should take is holding on gently to the end of the top thread and turning the wheel slowly. The sewing machine mechanism will make a loop through the bottom and it should bring up the bobbin thread. When you've turned the wheel one full turn and the needle is back up in its original position, if the thread is still down in the bobbin plate, give it a gentle tug and it should come up with the loop of bobbin thread on it.

In order for the thread to come up from the bobbin, the upper thread must be in place first and the needle has to be threaded. I don't mean to be condescending, just logical. And, make sure that the bobbin thread is going in the right direction.

the first thing you need to do is make sure you are threading the machine right. then you need to make sure you are threading and loading the bobbin right. even check the tension. the best way to do these things is to slowly follow your instruction manual to the letter. when you are ready to pull the bobbin thread up, make sure you hold the upper thread sorta loosely, and pull it through slowly as you slowly turn the wheel. thats the best way i can describe it. slow is the main thing. good luck and hope this helps you a little.
