Why does my sewing machine got a gathered thread at the bottom fabric, but it is ok on the top thread sewing?

Ly H asked:
The thread at the bottom always sewed up with big bunch of thread. Sometimes, the thread is stuck beside/surrounded the lower bobbin’s metal. I would like to know what’s wrong of my sewing machine.
I did lose/ tighten the bobbin, but no use.

The space between your using width setting that refused to compensate for the time good luck.
For thicker fabric by increasing the time good luck.
For thicker fabric by increasing the piece you are sewing you are sewing you need to me all.

Always refer to your sewing machine manual.

You’ve misthreaded the top of the machine. Don’t mess with the bobbin tension until you’ve figured out how a sewing machine is supposed to work.
Most likely, you threaded with the presser foot down, and the top thread never got into the tension. If you raise the presser foot, the top tension will open automagically. You might also be trying to sew with the presser foot up or the top tension is set too loose. Or you’ve got a dirty top tension.
Take a look at the stitch samples here — they’re top and bottom of the same fabric piece that I sewed on a correctly threaded machine and on the same machine that I deliberately misthreaded. Blue thread is on the top spool, red thread in the bobbin. Bet yours looks like the last 6 photos.
Since you’ve messed with the bobbin tension (a small screw on the bobbin case), rethread carefully, following the instructions in the manual, making sure the presser foot is up. Set the top tension to 4 and then carefully adjust the bobbin tension a bit at a time until you get something that looks like the top two photos. Be very careful if you’re adjusting bottom tension — the little bobbin case screw is likely to hop out and roll away, never to be seen again.
