I had this problem a good bit when I first got my machine and could not figure out what was going on. It was frustrating to say the least, but I finally figured out what was causing it.
Start troubleshooting by clearing any jammed fabric/thread from the feed dogs and bobbin casing. This is also a good time to give your machine a little cleaning, remove any lint or thread pieces.
Rethread your machine. Take the top thread and bobbin completely out of your machine and rethread. BE SURE YOUR BOBBIN IS PULLING COUNTERCLOCK WISE. This can cause looping that you are seeing.
The most common cause of top thread looping in the bobin casing is slack in the top thread. When you begin to sew/embroider with your machine be sure that there is tension on the top thread. The easiest way to do this is to pull gently on the top thread while your machine makes the first couple of stitches. You can then stop sewing or stop the embroidery and trim your thread and then continue (press start button if embroidering). After the first couple of stitches the machine should hold proper tension on the thread.
Following the above steps should fix your problem. If it does not try replacing your needle and/or trying a different grade of thread. (unlikely causes, but can contribute.)
IF none of these steps work you may have a mechanical problem with your machine. Take it to a singer dealer for maintenance.
