Top Thread Not Stitching?

My New Home sewing machine has been working great forever. Now, maybe I'm just not looking right and it's totally normal, but the bottom thread is working fine and stitching all the way through, but the top thread is just being held there flat on top of the fabric by the bottom thread.

I know the top and bottom thread can give a different color on either side, but I thought that you could still see some of both colors on both sides. I rethreaded both the top and the bottom multiple times and it's still doing the same thing. The needle is sharp and the right size, the tension is correct, and I've changed it tighter and looser and it doesn't seem to change anything. What am I missing?

If I have used two different colors, I haven't been able to see the other color. If you have even stitches on both sides your machine is working well. If you don't have a good stitch on the top thread, it's very easy to adjust using the tension knob.

Hopefully you still have the manual. If not, you cab download it online.

If you need a manual you can post your machine model number and someone will help you find one.
Here is a link to clear instructions on adjusting tension - maybe this will help.
