Try replacing the needle, and rethreading your machine. This will often solve this issue. If you have done so, it is likely that the timing of your machine is off. If this is the case, it is best to take your machine to a reputable sewing machine repair center for repair.
You must not have it threaded right, if you do not have a manual go to brother-usa.com and under home sewing machine put your model number in and you can download your manual for free. If, I helped, please rate me
First lift up the presser foot Then turn the handwheel until the take-up lever is at it's highest Thread: From the spool around the thread guide on the top rear around the thread guide top front down and around the tension, pulling up to fully engage the check spring in the tensioner up and through the take-up lever down through thread guides to the needle thread the needle from front to back
Rethread your machine
Make sure your cotton runs through the two tension plates
Check that your top tension is set on 5
Make sure your bobbin case is threaded correctly
Lastly, make sure there is no cotton stuck between your top tension's plates(take a long needle and remove any fluff)
A mass of loose thread on the bottom of the fabric most likely indicates a total loss of upper tension. Remove the upper thread, raise the presser foot and rethread the machine. Make sure that the upper tension knob/dial is around 5. If you still have a problem, let me know what brand and model you have.
