I tried changing needle gauges, different thread, re-threading my machine, & tightening my top tension 3 FULL turns-- nothing! My bobbin thread tension hasn't had to be adjusted for anything as I've been using the same fabric for a while, so IDK if it's that.
Remove the thread. Install a new needle. (ALWAYS RAISE the presser foot before threading.) Rethread from the beginning.
Test. If the problem continues, adjust the tension (usually tightening the upper tension will pull more bobbin thread up and reduce the thread nesting under the fabric).
If the upper tension is still misbehaving, then the tension disk may be dirty or broken.
