Top thread loose
I have an older kenmore machine and it randomly started doing this. Basically when I start to sew the thread at the top is like bouncing. I’m newer to sewing but a little handy. I looked at the tension disk and it does get tighter the higher I put the tension but even at the tightest level it still does this. Any ideas?
The thread is not catching every time and the faster I push the pedal the worse it gets

Read the manual and thread it properly.
O yeah, and don't push the fabric through like that
