What kind of machine is it? Are you sure you have the upper thread in the thread guides. It sounds like the thread is not staying in the upper tension
If machine has horizontal spool, be sure spool cap is larger than spool and thread dispenses from spool by falling forward (flip spool on pin to correct).
Be sure top thread tension is not too loose.
If still problems, thoroughly clean bobbin hook/race area per machine instruction.
Set top tension at four. If the ball of thread remains on bottom then loosen the bobbin tension. Do this a little at a time until the stitch is good.

hi
i want to know how i put thread in the sewing machine
thank you
SOURCE: Thread from bobin doesn`t leave smooth sewing on bottom of fabric
hi make sure pressure foot is raised before you start to thread machine ortherwise thread will not slide between tension discs this will cause bunching underside of fabric ...good idea to replace needle good luck

SOURCE: thread bunches up under the fabric
For normal everyday fabric, tension should be 3-5.
If it is looping on the bottom, the problem is the threading of the machine. If it loops on the top then the problem is with the bobbin.
SOURCE: keeps "birdnesting", besides rethreading, how do I fix?
when you have bunching on the bottom, you have a problem with the top thread: no tension. (and visa versa) Make sure the thread runs through the tension discs, these discs are activated when you put the presser foot down, so you want to thread the machine with the foot up, also feel if there no burrs, hooks, or whatever, so your top thread comes smooth off the spool, no jerking.

im not!
it needs a good service the timeing has sliped out a little, nothing more that that,,,see its not a lost cause just yet
Testimonial: "Thanks! I was hoping to avoid paying for a fix, but it looks like I have to **** it up. So much for being thrifty and restyling my clothes."
