bottom stiches are looping?

when sewing on my bernina 830 the stitches on top of the work look OK but underneath they appear as large loops.

Hello Jan,
Check all the basics to make sure you have not missed anything, make sure the presser foot is up when threading, top tension about 4 or 5, bottom tension tight enough so you can only just pull the thread through with some resistence, if it is too tight slacken the screw on the bobbin anti clockwise about a quarter of a turn at a time and test.
