Brand new needle and correct size bobbin
You don't say what you are sewing so I'm going to give you general answers in hopes it helps.
1. Needles: There is no such thing as a universal needle. Make sure you are using the proper needle for your fabric. This goes for thread too... make sure it's sized for the needle.
2. Make sure the bobbin is threaded correctly (poorly wound bobbins will cause problems too)
3 Improperly threaded machine. Make sure you area threading it correctly with the foot in the UP position.
4. If you are a material puller... shop it. It is never good to pull your fabric through the machine as you sew.
5. Stitch length. simple rule: Fat fabric.. long stitch, fine/thin fabric short stitch.
I'm not familiar with your futura abut I've noticed new home machines take a way presser foot pressure adjustments... which can cause issues too.

I assume you checked to see there are no needle bits in the bobbin case holder.
Without looking at the machine it is difficult to diagnose the problem. It could be any one or a combination of problems, timing, needle bar height, damage to the hook and base etc.
I strongly suggest you have it looked at by a sewing machine tech.

Hi, I used to have the same problem. I pulled the whole bobin casing out, cleaned it oiled it. When I put it back in, I made sure the actual bobin was turing the right direction so the cotton didnt snag and pull casing up.
If you havent already tried this give it a go.Its amazing how much gunk gets in there.
SOURCE: Stitch is uneven, not straight, and tension off on top and bottom
on my industrial machine this was caused by the wrong size needle. the length was off just a fraction. just an idea, in case you bought generic needles or something.
SOURCE: Machine will not pick up the bobbin thread.
if your machine's needle threads from front to back, make sure that the flat part of the needle shank points to the rear of the machine. If it threads from left to right, the flat side should face right, etc.
