I'm not brand new to it, but I have only made about a few quilts so far. I don't remember having this problem before.
Okay that sounds like we're back to a tension problem. If the top of the quilt looks fine, but the bottom has loose stitches or even loops, then you need to tighten your top tension. If it's tightened as far as it can go, then you need to loosen your bobbin tension. You said you "played" with the tension, but you didn't really describe what you did. You might need to get some scraps of fabric and batting and do some serious tension adjusting.
Good luck!
