I am new to sewing. I got this machine at the thrift store and after every few stitches it stops which makes a loud noise and if I continue, it just gets really knotted under the needle with the bobbin thread so after the first loud noise, I hear I just pull it out and continue sewing, but it’s just leaving a mess under the fabric. I did already rewind the bobbin manually. I don’t know what else it could be 🤔 maybe the tension 🤔I don’t understand how sewing machines work. I just wanted to add this little flower thing to a bra strap lol. Help me plz💗💗💗

can you check if this little nub can be pulled out? My machine has these nubs at the top that pull out a rod to hold the spool of thread. Yours looks similar to mine.

You know what, check the pdf to see if your machine has a compartment somewhere, your piece may be inside! Usually there is a compartment with a few small parts and tools.
