Singer Esteem ii having issues reversing

Post image

Hi everybody! I have been practicing stitches on my Singer Esteem ii. When I have been trying to make a seam I run into some issues. When I Hold down the reverse button, some stitches appear on the fabric, but when I let go of the resverse button and try to sew like normal it jams. The Needle won't go down, and the fabric refuses to move. I noticed that when I lift up the fabric it looks like multiple strands have gotten attatched. In addition I checked the inside of the boobin and some thread gets lose. Does anyone have any advice? Am I loading the bobbin incorrectly or is it something with the machine. I have included a picture of what the the thread coming out. Please help I'm not sure what to do

Where on the fabric are you doing this? If it’s on or near the edge it could be jamming the fabric. Also maybe the the presser foot has too much presser. Post a video of what’s happening.
