Need help !!

Me

So I recently started sewing. Bought a new sewing machine and all. Now my first project ( blanket) went super smooth. Now my second project was to sew on name tags on socks ( my grandma is in an old folks home) and for some reason my thread kept getting bunched up and stuck under. I wanted to scream. I played with the tension and really it did the same thing the whole time no matter what tension my top thread was at. I rethreaded everything as well and still same problem. Can anyone tell me why this would be?
