Singer sewing machine 132K6 top thread problems

I got an old Singer sewing machine 132K6 recently. It has not been used for over a decade at least and apparently full of dust and rust. I have cleaned, removed rust and lubricated moving parts. When I plugged in outlet, it works! But there are a couple of problems.

The needle can not pick up bottom thread when sewing a fabric. The rotary hook’s timing is adjusted and can grab the bottom thread. However when I tried to sew fabric, the needle won’t pick up bottom thread. Please see the attached pictures.

Another problem sometimes the upper thread was broken like it was cut by a knife.

Need help

Any help and advice are appreciated.

Hi, I have a vintage Singer.

Make sure that the needle's flat edge faces back. Make sure you're not sewing with out of date thread. Your tension could also be too high. There are many things to check on an old machine. Are you a new sewer?

Make sure the bobbin case is free of any small pieces of thread or lint. And don't forget to keep the presser foot up when changing the needle. Lastly, look for tiny burrs or rough spots on the needle plate ( hole where the needle goes down). Rub a Q tips around to see if it is clear, if not, you can carefully use a fine emery board over the burr. I hope this helps you.
Good luck and happy sewing..
