Thread bunches up into a knotted mess on bottom. Bobbin doesn't sit flat inside the bobbin case but spins with a tilt, lower on the left and higher on the right. Bobbin touches plastic cover plate.
Usually, thread bunching under the fabric is an upper tension issue. Be sure to ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot when threading the upper thread.

With the bobbin case operating at a tilt, there is something mechanically wrong with the machine. It may be best to take it for service.

Why is the underside of my sewing all knotted up? Every time I sew the thread is bunching/ knotting/ 'birdnesting' on the underside of the fabric. The bobbin holder is clicking and bouncing around an
The tension on the bobbin is too high, or the tension on the top is too low. One needs to set them to balance

My bernette 65 is bunching underneath. How do I resolve that?
Grasp the threads and hold them down when you start your seam. If it still happens make sure your thread is seated into your upper tension mechanisms. If that still isn't solving your problem... CLEAN between the tension discs with some sturdy fabric folded in half. (wax build up from threads can cause issues)

Good luck

Hi iam not sure how explain my problem with my sewing machine.when i try to sew the strings does not comes stright. it gets messed up the top comes ok but the bottom of the layer comes out all strings...
If I'm understanding the problem right it sounds like you have no tension on the bobbin. Take it out and see if the thread has any resistance when you pull it out. If you hold it up by thel thread and let it dangle and it just drops to the floor the tension isn't right. Check and make sure it is threaded correctly and tighten the tension. Test it again and when you dangle it, it should drop a bit with resistance when you hold it by the thread.

Also check that the top tension isn't too tight, but in this case it is more likely that the bobbin is too loose. And check to see if the dogfeed (the teeth that comes through the plate opening under the needle) is up and moving the material through the presser foot. If the material isn't moving at all it will sort of stitch "in one place" which will give you a bunch of threads all knotted up underneath. If those underneath threads are loopy that is a sign the bobbin thread is too loose (tension too loose)

How to stop bobin thread from knotting
When loading the bobbin there is most likely not enough tension on the thread letting it overlap incorrectly. Try wrapping thread around a tensioner when filling and that should help. That way the bobbin is rolled as tight as the tension on the upper thread when sewing.

Babylock Ellageo will not feed after using embroidery unit. It happened once before, then just started working. Will still embroider but won't feed on regular sewing.
Did you engage the feed dogs for sewing?

Bobbin thread looping/knotting/bunching up
When inserting the bobbin make sure the bobbin direction of the thread is facing in the right direction. This could create a problem . Also, make sure your bobbin casing is clean and free of lint.

M machine stopped working properly. The lower thread is bunching, knotting and the fabric is being pulled into the bobbin compartment. The machine also makes loud noise. thanks
bunching lower thread is actually the upper thread not having enough tension due to mis-threading or wrong tension setting

Bobbin thread one big snarly knot
First ensure that your bobbin is threaded correctly. Most drop in style bobbins the thread will feed off in a clockwise motion. Also make sure to only move the hand wheel (on the right) toward you (counter clockwise). When you begin sewing ensure that you start with the needle in the fabric and when you end that your needle is in the highest position.
