So, guessing the top and bobbin threads are not forming a stitch.
Install a brand new needle and verify it is installed correctly. If this doesn't help, then the machine is probably knocked out of time. Search for "sewing machine timing" or take it for service.

Hi there!
Well you're right it's a tension problem.
Sounds like there is little or no tension on the top thread.
You probably have thread stuck in your tension discs. If so, set the tension at zero, open the discs with a small screw driver and blow between them. Sometimes you have to dig it out with tweezers.
Then reset clockwise untill you can feel the tension on the thread when you pull through it. It should be about the same as pulling a mug of tee along a table. (not specific I know - but you get the idea - and I love the tea!)
Hope this helps you.
Richie.
SOURCE: Not catching stitches / bobbin correctly
Your timing has been messed up by breaking the needle. When the needle hit the bobbin race, it shoved the needle bar up and now the needle is not in the correct position to catch the bobbin thread when the race rotates. The needle has a little dip in the back, called the scarf. When you take the neddle plate off and watch it move, you should see the little hook pass through the scarf. That's how it makes the locking stitch and picks up the bobbin thread. Unfortunately, you will need to take this in to a dealer or service place to have them adjust the needle bar height. It's not a complicated task so see if they can check it while you wait. It may be more difficult to fix, like retiming the machine. But it doesn't sound like you've done any major damage to the mechanism.
SOURCE: Top thread stitches correctly but bottom thread loops.
FYI---- Loops on the bottom-- problem is in the threading..
Loops on the top--- problem is with the bobbin.
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,

Make sure the needle has been properly installed - flat side to the back of the machine.
Thread the top thread with the presser foot up - always.
Make sure the bobbin thread is feeding from the bobbin spool in the correct direction and through the correct guides.
Hold onto the thread tail at the needle and lower (by hand and not the power pedal) and raise the needle to pull the bobbin thread to the top of the machine.
Take both thread tails under the presser foot and to the back of the machine before you begin to sew.
