First make sure that the bobbin case locking lever is fully back, away from the bobbin case area. This lever is on the left side and to the back of the bobbin area. The bobbin case needs to be put in so the forked end of the bobbin case slides under the feed (towards the needle and the center of the feed dogs). Next slide the front edge of the bobbin case under the position plate. Then turn the lever towards you to lock the bobbin case in place. Make sure that the bobbin case can still move slightly. If it's tight, move the lever again and reset the bobbin case.
After you put the bobbin case in, release it, and then pull on it to make sure it is in correctly. The gathering is called a "bird's nest", and is caused by the machine not being threaded correctly. Rethread the machine top and bobbin. Then, sew a test stitch on a scrap of like material.

Hi. The position finger on the right hand side needs to be adjusted closer to the case. It may very well be bent. If it is bent, it needs to be repaced.
I had the same problem and after looking on here and finding no answer I went back to my machine and found out what the problem was...ok, where the bobbin case sets in,the metal plate beside it needs to be fitted right close to the bobbin case, so loosen the screws(just two of them) that are in the plate(DO NOT REMOVE JUST LOOSEN) and slide the metal plate over some just enough to fit snug...NOT TOO TIGHT... if its seems to sew too tight loosen it a bit It worked for me, GOOD LUCK
