When I have a mess like that, 9 times out of 10 there is problem with the threading. On my Pfaff, the thread has a tendency to jump one of the uptake loops. With the Babylock I must have the needle up and the foot up.

I would start over from scratch.. rewind a bobbin, new needle , rethread the machine .

Yep, make sure the foots down, have one here that looks down when it's not, and all hooks are caught, when threading
Good Luck !!

I had a problem like that once and it was the tension settings. Try rethreading the machine, change the bobbin, make sure thread and bobbin thread are the same weight. Hope some of this helps!
