Thereof, does bobbin thread show on top?
Your bobbin thread should not show throughthe top layer of stitching. You will always want to use alightweight polyester bobbin thread, such as BobbinFil orany other 60-70 weight thread. You can use whatever coloryou want, but you don't need to change color to match the topthread.
Likewise, why is my thread looping underneath? Thread looping when sewing.

Loops will appear on the bottom of the fabricif the upper tension is too loose.
Similarly one may ask, why is my top thread showing on bottom?
Actually the opposite is true. If your topthread is showing on the bottom that means yourtop tension is too loose or your bobbin is too tight. Thetop thread is losing the tug of war and thebobbin is pulling it through so you see the pokies. You needto try tightening your top tension and see if thathelps.
