While it is generally recommended to lower the upper tension for zigzag stitching, there should be some tension, I blew up your picture and it looks it is set at "0"

I am thinking that most machines that have a numbered dial that the normal setting is around "4", So I would set it for zigzag at 2 or 3 and see if that would help. I would think it would look worse set at 0. I would double check the thread path and make sure the thread is between the tension discs and not behind or in front of them. Sometimes it is hard to see, depending on the machine.
