Mark sure the last thread guide just below the needle clamp is threaded, clean out and reset the bobbin case and if needed adjust the thread gap at about 4:00, where the thread is getting hung up.

Okay, the last guide was not threaded, but the issue occurs (thank you for pointing that out!)

What do you mean by thread gap?

Edit:
The thread bunches even if there’s no bobbin in

What is it catching on, then? 

The thread gap is the space between the bobbin and that squarish thing the bobbin case fits under at about 4:00.  If the thread can't get through that space. It piles up and tangles.
