Is it oil base or water? If it is water you can remove most with a damp cloth and let dry and sand lightly. You either over brushed your stain mixing air in it or failed to sand the wood smooth enough before the stain was applied. Try applying with a cloth after re sanding. If you are using water base that is thick you can cut it a bit with water to apply easier with less chance of air bubbles. I like to use water base as I can control the level of darkness I get. I like to see my wood grain. Also, make sure to completely remove all dust from sanding.

I would need more info but I have done a few furniture projects and some floor refinishing and have learned a few things over the years.
Depending on the product you are using it could be a matter of you shaking the can of stain instead of stirring. If you are using a brush it can also be from too many brush strokes.
I would go to: http://www.minwax.com/ Then click on "shop talk" then "forums". When I was doing a floor refininshing project I got all my infor from users on that forum.
good luck.

If they are dry, sand lightly with 400 grit san paper. NEVER use steel wool. Steel fibers will end up in your work, no matter how careful you are. Use a tack cloth to pick up the residue. If it is still wet, exhale gently onto the the piece. You carbon dioxide will gently pop the bubbles. It is not the force of your breath that does it. You may or may not need to apply one more coat of ploryurethane on.

a bit of lacquer thinner should do the trick. usually you put stain on the wood then wipe off the extra and get rid of bubbles. but no big deal. just use the thinner so that the bubble area is wet and wipe off excess. if you want at this point you can reapply stain and wipe off extra. then go ahead and use your clear sealer. most have you do one coat then lightly sand before applying second coat....just follow directions of the brand and type you are using.

Try putting it on with lambs wool or go with less speed and pressure your wood must be fine sanded or you will get bubbles. Thats the way we do it on hard wood floors.

lightly sand the bubbles and do a touch up or chemically take the stain off and repaint.
