Rethread the top of the machine with the presser foot up; sew with the presser foot down. If the fabric is too thick/too many plies, the presser foot is forced upwards, allowing the top tension to open. This causes thread snarls on the underside.

SOURCE: while embroidering the top thread gets wound around the bobbin and makes a nest on the bottom

have you tried changing the needle
rethread the machine top & bobbin
when embroidering make sure it good quality thread
clean under the needle plate & in the bobbin area for loose threads & lint
make sure the thread your using it not knotty
make sure the tension is set for the thread & needle & fabric your using
make sure the thread has not come off the thread take up lever

I have a husqvarna 870 and I am trying to top stitch over multiple layers of fabric. I get a thread nest on the bottom of the sandwich.

Likely top thread tension needs to be set higher.

With the additional layers it will take a higher top thread tension so the take up lever pulls the extra top thread from bottom side through the fabric stack before it takes it from the spool.

If youre not sure whether top or bottom thread that is nesting, try a different color top thread to make determination easier.

How do i fix my bobbin thread on my singer machine from balling up on bottom 9030

Nesting of thread on wrong side (bottom) is usually top thread tension too low.

To be sure which thread is nesting try test sew with different color top thread.

If its bobbin thread then theres likely a problem with bobbin thread tension. Check the bobbin thread has not escaped the tension spring.

The upper thread tension seems fine but the lower tension is all loopy or broken. I'm sewing cotton fabric with cotton thread in the bobbin & upper thread. Suggestions?

it is called bird nesting and the upper thread tension is not tight enough
Proper needle thread tension is when you feel resistance as you pull the thread through the needle eye

Nesting thread on bottom of fabric

This is called bird nesting or thread nesting. It occurs most often because the thread is not seated completely in the tension disk.

Remove the top thread from the machine.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning.
Verify the thread path is correct.
It also may help to use a brand new needle.

Thread bunching up on bottom of fabric

Remove the top thread from your machine (NOTE: ALWAYS clip the thread next to the spool, lift the presser foot, and gently pull the top thread down from top to bottom!!! This helps reduce the chances of breaking something by pulling the thread upwards!)

ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread the top thread from beginning. Verify the thread path is correct and start out with the thread tension set at the midway point (and then tweak the top thread tension through testing).

FWIW, if the thread problem appears under the fabric, it is generally a top thread issue. If the thread problem appears on the top of the fabric, it is generally a bobbin thread issue.

Why does the needle make knots at the bottom?

Those are called bird nests or thread nests (or what I prefer to call thread barfs).

The most frequent cause is that the presser foot should ALWAYS BE RAISED when threading the top thread.
