and threaded it just like the manual shown it. The problem I have is too much thread bunched up on the
untherside of the material,,, on the upperside the stiching looks great… any ideas???

Thread loops on the underside of the fabric
usually indicates the machine was threaded with the presser foot down and there is no tension on the upper thread.
When the presser foot is up the upper tension opens. During the threading process, this allows the thread to properly enter the tension control mechanism.
Try re-threading, or just lift the presser foot and pull a few inches of thread through at the needle.
