So the sewing machine that I'm using is a Good Housekeeper made in Japan. It is a deluxe precision bill is what it says on the side and I think the model number is 1091TW. I've been researching and haven't found one just like this one on the Internet anywhere. So if anyone is familiar with this model, any pointers would be great. My problem is with stitching. I've tried different types of fabric the bobbin thread won't come through the fabric for it will make a stitch at all. I'll change the needle, I removed lint, and oiled it up. I just can't get it to make a stitch. Any help would be most appreciated.

The timing is out the loop bobbin case is not catching needle thread as it goes down. Type problem into browser there's loads of videos some on you tube how to rectify problem. Good luck
I'm not familiar with this machine either (I do some vintage repair-refurb for my Sewing 101 students) but what you're describing is a common problem with vintage machines - a worn or broken bobbin gear inside the machine.
However, the problem could be a few other things instead and the only way to be sure is to have the machine to a repair tech who can inspect the inside safely (modern, and some 'vintage' electrics, can shock you even if they've been disconnected from the mains for hours or days) and make the needed repairs. This isn't a 'home-fix'. The tech should also do a servicing (cleaning and oiling, inspecting for potential developing problems), and should also be happy to tell you how to wind bobbins, use the other features, and very likely will be able to direct you to a free or low cost download of the machine user manual.
No offense, but that makes no sense. If a machine has been unplugged from the outlet, there is no way to receive a shock. I am an apprentice electrician, and our first lesson is "unplug the bugger".
