One of your tensions is way too tight. If the thread is laying on the top of the fabric and the lower is making the loops, then it's the top tension. If you can slide the thread to smooth it, then the seam isn't very strong.

It could be that your tension is a little off or you may need to lengthen your stitch. Also, you could try and re-thread your machine as I know that is what I do if I have a problem. Good luck to you and I do see that you have a lot of advice and ideas of how to remedy your ruffling problem
