Sounds like your lower tension is wrong but it would help if you had the manual to check. Could also be that the bobbin thread is not wound correctly or is not the correct weight. Have you embroidered successfully before? Maybe you machine needs a thorough cleaning and adjustment.
You need to adjust the tension on either the bobbin holder beneath which usually has a small screw to pull the thread down. And/or the top tension maybe too strong preventing the bobbin thread from pulling it down. There is usually a small round dial on the front of the machine you can ajust the tension. Test each time you make an adjustment until it looks balanced. You can check your manual on how to do this.... If you don't have your manual, you can download them on the manufacturers website. or take in to a sewing machine store that carries Singer, and they can adjust for you.
Sounds like that your bobbin is not filled right or you may not be pulling your bobbin thread up correctly.
Too much tension in the stitches. Just loosen this up, ok? J.
d if the tension is coorcet.eayou must be using polyesther wrapped thr
