Summer's new haircut, we cut 10 inches off and donated to locks of love.
Put all your tensions at like 2, and start moving up from there. Tighten them a little at a time until it looks like that again, and then loosen them a bit.

Maybe your tension disks are dirty. take a piece of thick thread and dip it in alchohol and run it trhough the tension discs to clean them. Other than that, I once had a tension disk "go bad" and it had to be replaced. Maybe that's it... Check your tension disks to make sure they're still working.

Thanks everyone. I've cleaned the disks, the disk itself is ok. I just don't know what else to do. I guess I'm going to have to fork out the $$$ for it to be repaired. UGH! It's only 4 months old for crying out loud
This is going to sound crazy, and I have no idea why it worked ...
I had a serger that did that same thing ... no matter what I tried, the needle tension was loose. The only way to "fix" it was to take the spool of needle thread down on my sewing table, next to the serger. I used a cup to hold it. When I serged w/ the thread in the cup--no problems. LOL!
Stupid question maybe, but is your presser foot up?
LOL! Not a stupid question. I do actually do those things occasionally. But guess what...you were right to begin with...it was my tension disk!!! I took the darn thing apart and fixed it myself! I feel like Rosie the Riveter LOL! Thanks Meagan
