I have just bought a used Home Elite Pro. I threaded it like the manual said, but the needle is not pulling up the bobbin thread. I've used a sewing machine once in my life so I'm not experienced. How do I make it work?

Often it is because the needle is too short. Try a different brand or don't push all the way up when installing the present needle. It will eventually work it's way up though.

Um, no, the needle is not too short - sewing machine needles are a general, standardised LENGTH. Widths, points, these are different, but lengths are the same.
I'm thinking you've either got the bobbin case loaded incorrectly (not likely) or the bobbin gear has worn out - might be the reason this machine was up for sale.
This isn't a repair you can do at home (I'm a sewing teacher and a self-taught repair tech, btw:), and the part for your machine may be difficult to source for the average home sewer. The professional repair tech has sources for these parts and can have you back behind the needle fairly quickly.
Have him/her show you the part, what caused the failure, and how to prevent it happening in the future.
So I am also a beginner and was having the same problem. Well, the experience seamstresses wouldn't even think to tell you this, but did you thread your needle?
