Unhappy Problems are making me sad

Hi, friends!

I have picked up two older machines just because they are pretty! I cleaned them, oiled them everywhere anything moved, hugged them and brushed away their tears...put on new thread, got new bobbins for them, got the threading diagrams, rethreaded several times, used new needles of different sizes...in short, I've been fussing with them for several days now. They both have the identical problem - which to me means it's really common or I am really missing something!

Both have dots of bobbin thread coming up, no matter how I change the tension (including the bobbin tension, but don't worry, I made note of where it started). I'm using light thread on top and dark thread on the bottom (Gutermann polyester).

I need help! I really want to get these right on my own if at all possible. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Margaret F (ps, I added the pic with the stitching later. Also fixed the bobbin winder so it wasn't on (Morse))
