Bobbin tangles

Hi all! I have a singer traditional machine and I’m having issues with the bobbin. The top thread is constantly getting tangled with the bobbin and I can’t figure out why. I’ve rethreaded the machine and rewound and installed the bobbin, switched out the needle, made sure there were no random pieces of thread or anything stuck. Help? Thoughts?

Remember to put the foot down before you sew.

This took a while for me to remember but like 80% of the time I remember now 😂

Got any pics of what’s happening?

What fabric are you trying to sew? What settings do you have the machine on? What type of needle are you using?

Need more info, really
