What do you need to do when the bottom thread from the bobbin is kind of wacking out. Something's wrong with my mechine, but it'll still sew, bu the problem is that the thread on the bottom clumps up and stuff, so if you know what to do, answer please.

And don't just say that I'm putting the bobbin in wrong or that I'm threading it wrong because I've threaded it a million times and I had my grandma do it to see if she could see what the problem was, and it's still doing it. I changed the bobbin back to the old one to see if that was the problem too, and it's not.

When I get loops and junk on the back of the fabric, it is because the bobbin thread escaped from the little slot on the bobbin case. Make sure your spool goes in with the tail coming out towards your left hand. Get it all the way into the slot.
If you have fooled with the bobbin tensions trying to fix this, you'll have to take the bobbin to be re-adjusted because they don't give you a way to tell how far you turned it.
If the machine hasn't been tuned up recently, a lot of things could be causing the problems.

I had this exact same problem when I first bought my singer a little over two years ago. I had the bobbin in right and the tension was right and I never could figure out what was wrong. my mother bought the exact same model I did and it did the exact same thing. After about two months of frustration I finally came up with the solution of slipping a tiny piece of paper (real tiny) between the hole of the bobbin spool and the bobbin case. that way you can tighten up the tension of the bobbin and you won't get those loopy stitces at the bottom the the fabric. I know it sounds unusual but it's been working for me.
Good luck.

Most common reasons for this problem are not having it threaded right take off the thread top and bottom and rethread, check the needle could be bad are you using an unusual type of thread once had someone bring a machine in for repair and she was using carpet thread in the bobbin. also check that the bobbin is wound correctly if these don't help e-mail me and i'll try to help

It probably is that the thread has slipped out of the proper slot for the bobbin case. You could need a new bobbin case or tension mechanism for the bobbin. If the machine has not had a regular maintenance service for a while, I would recommend you have a person service it.

My machine sometimes does this if too much lint has built up under the bobbin case. Since I figured that out I've made it a habit to get out my little screwdriver and take the whole bobbin case apart to clean it on a regular basis.

you will locate instructions at shops that sell sewing machines (Joann's, etc.) - i think of it particularly is like driving a bike - you do no longer forget approximately. the only situation you would be able to locate is which you have not got the persistence anymore for the little issues - like pressing tiny corners. i might additionally furnish this suggestion - whilst you're procuring a sparkling device, do no longer purchase a decrease priced one. there is not any longer something worse that a decrease priced sewing device. it particularly is going to stress you to drink and finally end up making you hate the sewing. evaluate procuring a sturdy sewing device an investment. think of Bernina or Husqvarna Viking - it's going to be properly worth it interior the long-term.

is the thread a cheapo brand? is the needle slightly bent? usually its a threading problem when it clumps like that, it can even be a tiny bit of thread stuck in the works underneath, but it also can be it simply needs servicing and adjusting by a machine repairman.

try holding the two pieces of thread when you first start sewing on the material. i think this is the same problem my friend lindsay had in our clothing class and my friend martha did something and it fixed it but we don't know what the problem is...sorry if i didn't help much! Good Luck:P

Your machine is not threaded properly. Make sure that you recheck the exact way it is threaded and that your tensions are set properly.
