I have adjusted the bobbin tension and the upper thread tension and it is still showing on top of the fabric. I finished one project just fine and the next one started having this problem immediately.
Mine is doing that too. But not pulling the top thread at all. I've threaded and retreaded. Checked bobbin. Turned off and on. Took top off to get shreds of thread. I've had it two days. Ive been working on it for about three hours. I have no idea what it could be. It's almost like the machine is embroidering with the bobbin thread. Not even pulling top thread. If I pull it though it comes out easily. Please someone help. I'm calling dealer in am but was hoping for help sooner.
First check threading. If it is done properly, then it's probably because it is dirty between the lower tension blade and the bobbin case body. Remove this blade, clean, reassemble and it shoud work.
SOURCE: sudden knotting under fabric
I have an Elna 2005 machine and had a similar but opposite problem whereby the tension up top was too tight - thread wouldn't pull smoothly. I found adjusting the feed dog lever slightly helped the stitches a lot, even though the needle tension up top is no better. Hope that helps! :-s
SOURCE: bobbin tension
This is an issue of your upper thread tension, so take a look at this generic tension solution
If you are in a pickle with your bobbin case, check top tension and bobbin case are free of lint, reset the top tension to 4, and adjust the bobbin tension to suit......some more detail on how to do that, is here

SOURCE: Upper thread wraps around bobbin mechanism, while sewing
IT PROBABLY IS THREADED INCORRECTLY. GO SLOWLY BY THE DIAPHRAGM AND MAKE SURE IT IS THREADED CORRECTLY. ALSO MAKE SURE SPOOL PIN HOLDERS ARE IN PLACE THAT HELPS TO GUIDE THE THREAD CORRECTLY.
SOURCE: Thread is bunching underneath fabric
Needle in correct? Be sure your bobbin is not in upside down and turning the wrong way. Possibly the hook that the bobbicase fits in/on has been hit by a needle and caused a burr that is catching the thread as it comes around. The burr would have to be polished off or hook replaced. The machine could be slightly out of time also.
SOURCE: Shirring fabric?
When putting your shirring elastic on the bobbin, don't thread the elastic through the bobbin holder,adjust the stitch length longer,and loosen the tension, other wise if you want to put it through the bobbin holder you have to loosen the tension screw on the bobbin holder, and then you have to adjust it back for ordinary sewing,
