Wow, I never thought it would be so hard to buy a sewing machine. I will only be doing wallets and bags on it will be here in 2 weeks..

Yep.  Everything is slower to get right now. I have that machine.  Nice.  make sure you get all three manuals-parts, operations and engineers or service manual.

Have a few question on the bobbin on the Juki 1341.
I can't get the thread to come up with the needle. 
With the bobbin out I can turn the wheel by hand in  forward direction and back, but with bobbin it will it will only go forward.

It keeps tangle up on the hook.

Are you holding back the starting threads for the first two or three stitches? Failure to hold them back almost always jams the top thread in the shuttle.

[1960plumber]

Yes I'm holding the thread. Does the thread come out of the top of the bobbin in the little groves or the side? I'm not picking up my bobbin thread. An it looks to be in time.

When you take the needle out, how do you know when you have it in the right place.

On your machine the cutout scarf over the eye faces due right and the ribbed channel faces due left. The needle must be all the way up in the mount and tight.

When I put it all the way up, then the hole for my thread is block. And Thanks for your help.

Sounds like it is not in time or safety clutch kicked out.  Manual will tell  you how to check the safety clutch.
