Why is my thread looping underneath?

A: Looping on the underside or back of the fabric means that the top thread tension is too loose compared to the bobbin thread tension, causing the bobbin thread to pull too much top thread underneath. Tightening the top tension will stop the loops, but the extra tension can cause tearing, especially with delicate threads.
