Please check whether it is the bobbin thread or the top thread that is messing up. If it's under the fabric, it is 99% the top thread and is called bird nesting or thread nesting.
Remove the top thread from the machine.
ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot and rethread from the beginning.
Verify the thread path is correct.
Also check that the bobbin is loaded and turning the correct direction in the bobbin case.
Now, retest the machine.
You may need to tweak the tension to get it where it looks best.
try changing the needle rethread the machine top & bobbin check with sewingpartsonline.com-- to see if they show a picture of the bobbins for that machine
try a new needle try adjusting the top thread tension make sure the bobbin is inserted correcty in the bobbin case also possible that the machine could be out of time & would need to be serviced
have you tried adjusting the top tension first?
if you have a drop in bobbin then it has to be adjusted at a sewing shop
the bobbin case you take out of the machine you can, using a small screw driver,,here's how
lower bobbin tension--
to test the bobbin tension,
remove the bobbin case & bobbin,,
hold it by suspending it by the thread,,
**** it once or twice,,
if the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about an inch or two
if the tension is too tight, it does not unwind at all
if the tension is too loose, it will drop too much
to adjust turn small screw on the side of the bobbin
to the left is tighten
to the right is loosen

Hi - I just ran across this and you very well may have found the solution but the same thing happened to me and someone suggested I call Shark/Euro-Pro - their # is 1-800-361-4639 and they will send you the manual for your model 7133 for FREE!! Hope this helps!
I had the same problem with my Shark Euro Pro 7133. My problem was in threading the upper thread. The manual does not quite explain so I had to figure this out the hard way.
In threading the upper thread . the thread first goes down from the spool througt a groove. When it comes up it must catch a silver lever that moves up and down before moving it down againPlease let me know whether this helps.
