I would try making two stitches in the same spot by turning the wheel by hand after turning the stitch length to zero, just remember to turn it back to the original setting before stitching the new side!

Thread a handneedle, put both ends through the eye. Bring the need up through the machine needle hole, catch the thread then back through the same hole, then pull the needle through the loop of thread on the other end of the needle two or three times. You'll have a very small knot that's barely visable on the backside.

Looks to me like your tension if causing the problem.
Try adjusting your top tension and try it on an scrap folded in half. If that doesn't do it try to adjust your bobbin tension. Hope this helps.

I just had this problem and thought I was going crazy.
I tried all the above suggestions over and over again.
I finally ended up starting the whole shabang over doing one thing at a time. It ended up it was the tension. It took a couple days. Seriously! I was at it one night for about an hour. the next night for the sam amount of time. I researched everything.
Try doing everything suggested but 1 step at a time. Finally change the tension 1 little turn at a time and it will clean up. Good luck
