Nice belts, I do a lot belts like this on my Adler 105-64...love top stitch on belts and straps!

Pay close attention to your top thread tension, on these pictures it seems like your knots trying to come up to the top!!

Which would mean your top tension is a bit tight or to big of a needle...

Well done!!

Thanks JimBob I now see what you mean. I use thread size 92 and a 21 needle, does that seem correct?

21 is the top end for needle on that size thread. try and use as small a needle as you can.

I second that, always try to thread the thread into the needle eye and see how loose you can move the needle from one end to the other...that thread needle combo should be fine.

In your case, I think it is more a top tension problem....knots coming op, loosen top tension, knots visible on bottom...get more top tension....that's all there is to it.....very seldom you have to mess with the bottom tension!
