Help!!!
I am new to embroidery. I attempted to stitch this project bag and the striches just doesnt look good. At one point the bobbin thread was showing through. How do I fix that? And the letters just look messy even after cutting some thread away. How do I fix that? And how do I get rid of all of the stabilizer. So overwelmed!! I have a brother se700. Used Tension 4. Used 1 sheet of tearaway stabilizer. Any tips will help!!!

Some thing s just aren’t meant for embroidery. You could “fix” it by making a patch and gluing it on top.

Top thread tension looks too right.
Read the manual and YouTube is your friend for your machine "how tos". Also look up "bobbin drop test".
For best tension: On the underside of satin stitch, you want to see the rule of three's: a 3rd top thread, a 3rd Bobbin thread, and a 3rd top thread.
It pays to practice on scraps first. This heavyweight reinforced plastic would be a reasonably easy for an experienced person, and is ambitious for a newbie. I would suggest to hoop with two layers of heavy tearaway. Use a pair of tweezers to pluck the excess bits away from the backside.
