My Brother sewing machine's top thread just isn't sewing at all. I've tried changing tension, oiling it, etc. The lower one is fine. Please help, I am so frustrated.

make sure it's threaded correctly, one missed spot will cause problems. Also put in new needle, sometimes the needle can have a burr or slight bend
This might be a possibility. I was having the same problem and same frustration. Took my machine into the shop and the guy looked at it and noticed it was threaded wrong! I somehow mis-threaded time after time and hadn't noticed (even though I knew better). Good luck.
I do repair-refurb work on student machines (I teach Sewing 101) and would love to try to help but you've not given enough information for me to even try making a guess. The problem could be anything from a tiny piece of thread fluff (lint) caught somewhere in the thread path (oh those tension discs, they do love to gather lint!) to a broken/worn gear. Without more information it's hard to say.
You write that you've changed the tension, oiled, etc - I'm wondering if you've checked to be sure the machine is set back to sewing mode after winding a bobbin, and if you've used the 'troubleshooting' pages of your manual?
If I knew the model, age, and more about what's happening, I might be able to hazard a guess. As you've not included that info, I'm going to suggest you take the machine to a qualified repair tech for a check.
I need help too mine won't stitch ether it's a Singer promies
Mine is a 1970 Kenmore 158 13500--m I cant get it to go out of bobbin mode -- it runs like it is still iin bobbin mode needle wont go up and down unless i physically move it---what am i doing wrong??
I have a brother Ls-2125i. The problem with my machine is that the thread is being hooked but it's like it's not following through to make the stitch instead it is bunching up on the bobbin holder. We've checked tension and timing and that all seems fine but the minute you go to sew it gets caught.
