Bunching of thread is 99% a top tension problem.
Make
sure you thread the top thread correctly. Thread the machine with the
presser lever up. Test the tension by lowering the presser lever before
threading the eye of the needle, by pulling the
thread with your left hand and adjusting the tension with your right
hand while slowly pulling downwards. There should be no resistance when
the tension dial is on zero, and you should be able to feel more
resistance when you increase the tension. Ideal tension is between 3 and
5. When your top tension is correct, your machine should operate
correctly. If you feel no resistance with the presser foot down and the tension dial on 5, check the tension disks for fluff or broken thread. When you lift the presser foot, the tension disks should open and you would be able to remove any cotton or fluff. Good Luck
