Answer:
There could be numerous reasons why your machine is not picking up the bobbin thread. Good news is it wont be an expensive job, unfortunately though its a process of elimination.

You have already checked the obvious, here are a few other possible causes:

Under bobbin casing may need changing, deburgh can be a problem, as it will catch and not spin properly. Try replacing the under bobbin increasing.

Thread tension can be another factor when thread is not being picked up.

Service A service can be done yourself, basically it is taking the case off and lightly spraying wd40 on the movable parts. Making sure there is no fluff or thread.

Embroidery machines are temperamental and it is usually a simple problem that creates havoc. I recommend a regular clean and as you get to know your machine you will be able to spot and wear and tear.

If you still cannot get the bobbin thread to pick up, please reply with your machine make and i will look into it further for you.
