I'm no expert, by any means, but I hate to see a beginner's question go unanswered. If the tension is not equally balanced on your machine, either the top thread will show as dots of a different color on the back or the bobbin thread will show as dots on the top. A perfectly balanced tension will interlock the stitches between the layers of fabric.
