    On a piece of clothing you are wearing or when you sew?

    Sounds like the bobbin thread is not properly threaded and/or has too loose a tension on it.
    Try using a bobbin thread of different color from the top, on a piece of cloth, so you can see the threads better.

    It is threaded correctly because the strait stitch is OK and it is a brother machine.
