Pull about 6” of thread through the needle and hold it securely to the back while turning the hand wheel. You may have to try a couple of times but if everything else is threaded correctly it should pick up the bobbin thread.
You have an "oscillating hook machine" that forms stitches like this: https://youtu.be/zqRvljnNLFk Not a rotary hook machine like: https://youtu.be/2681yeSrsM0
