Some things to consider if this happens again- test tension due to straight stitching on top ususally means top tension is too tight. Change needle,check needle to make sure inserted correctly, lower pressure foot and gently pull thread- needle should bend stightly which means top thread is correct in tension guide, check threading on both bobbin and top, make sure bobbin thread and top thread are same or compatible by testing on different material, change all thread and test to see if thread is issue. Lastly take break.

Did you adjust the pressure tension? Put more pressure on the needle when only stitching the 2 layers. That's if you have a knob or lever for the pressure. I release that tension for free motion quilting then put it back for piecing.

I have had this problem on my Bernina, but only after breaking a needle.(became loose/fell out during sewing - ouch!) When the needle broke, it messed up the timing and according to the tech, I can't fix it. It needs to be taken in for repair. Thankfully, I have another machine. If yours is newer and 'something' happened, this might be the reason.

This happens to me sometimes when I use my older machines. It's always the bobbin thread has slipped out of the bobbin casing threading hole. The top thread will look like one long line of thread laying on the stitch. I was told a new bobbin case would correct the thread from slipping out if it became a constant frustration.
