Now wind a fresh bobbin, then carefully rethread the machine. That includes taking out the needle and firmly replacing it.Set to do a basic straight stitch and try to sew a straight line through two layers of regular fabric (eg scrap of polycotton) if it tangles again, wait for mum! But often just setting up your machine from scratch will solve the problem. The most trivial thing like a needle slightly loose, or bobbin badly wound can throw everything out. A fresh start checking every step often sorts it all out. Hope you are happily stitching again soon!

Re thread the machine, as it may have come out of the takeup leaver, or not be sitting in the tension disk properly. Good luck.
