It is properly threaded and I cleaned the area...worked fine and then just stopped catching the thread
Have you tried changing the needle?
is the needle in backwards?
is the needle inserted all the way into the needle holder?
clean under needle plate & in the bobbin area for lint or loose thread
did you hit something with the needle?
SOURCE: Bobbin thread getting caught
Check your Instruction manual - if you have taken the bobbin case apart to clean it, the shuttle must be reinserted with the little tab pressing against the piece you mention. It is under page 45 - "Caring for your machine" in my book. I missed it the first time I cleaned and oild mine.
SOURCE: I can't raise the bobbin thread. The needle raises before the bobbin thread can 'catch'
readjust the hook to just grab the thread loop as the needle raises it will take a few tries to get the exact setting for the hook (maybe you will see a mark on the hook shaft to show you where the hook's set screw was located before it slipped)

There are manuals avilable online to purchase for the singer machines, SOrry I was not able to locate a site that has them for free.

SOURCE: bobbin thread won't catch with needle thread
check that the needle is in the right way round i.e. with cut out on the needle facing into the machine. if this is fine then check that as the needle comes back up from the lowest point that it goes to, that the point on the bobbin case passes just above the hole in the needle, i.e. in the middle of the cut out.(if not it needs re timing) if threaded a small loop should appear at this point for the bottom bobbin to catch if not slacken the top thread and try again.

Here's one, have my 3rd singer (the only thing Simple was me for buying it)
The upper thread just goes around the pin that the bobbin sits around.
The vendor was gracious in exchanigng twice, by the way,
machine #1 sewed for 92 days, singer's warranty is 90 days, & only for parts,
they generally say it's a timimg issue, (all labor, no parts, )
& oh,
there's a deductible
I guess the solution is don't buy a singer
they used to be very reputable
but, chose mass production
