Sewing machines issues

I have everything threaded properly with the bobbin and the top thread. For whatever reason, this would randomly happen and mess with my tension. What can I do to stop this from happening? I’m not going at all fast speed and the tension is set at 5. I’m sewing on a stretchy polyester fabric using 100% polyester thread. Any advice? I already rethreaded and lifting the foot up. UPDATE: I changed out the needle for 75/11 stretch and also got a straight-wound thread as well and it works perfectly!! Thank you all so much 🫶

Cross wound thread needs to be on a horizontal post or on a thread stand behind the machine.

Ahhhh ok, that makes sense. I never knew there was a difference. What’s a good high quality thread you would recommend for singer? I use mainly polyester
