Help, sewing problems!

Hi all,
This is my first post so I hope I put this thread in the right area, if not, admin please move it for me.
Well I have a portable Pfaff machine and it always works great except all of a sudden its doing this on the bottom of fabric (see photo). I didn't change any setting, just one day it worked and the next it didn't. I'm sure it's something easy, I just don't know how to fix it. I tried all I can think of and I'm having withdrawls not sewing lol!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Ben there, done that! I'm sure others will pipe in with the same message. :-) Also, welcome to the Board!
This happened to me because I didn't thread the machine correctly. This, on a machine I've had for twenty years! Huh? They were right -- rethread your machine and try again. Also, it may sound obvious, make sure your presser foot is down.
I think what happened with my machine is I left it in the garage/three season room (I was sewing out there) and it was just a bit too damp. Instead of being able to quickly thread the machine, I really had to make sure I tugged the thread into the tension area. That was the problem.
Good luck!

Wow, what great support...and quick too, this is awesome!!
Ok, i re-threaded the machine, I changed my presser foot from plastic to metal, I changed upper tension to the highest setting and still the same. I will rewind the bobbin to see if that helps.
Thank you all for your help!

WhoooHoooo, it's working!!!
I re-threaded it again and did what QBeth said and tugged it into the tension area and it worked! I've never had to do this before and not sure why I had to do that now, but who cares...I can sew again!!!
Thank you all again for all your help, I'm soooo happy I found this site!
