Hi I have a singer capri 141 - the botom stiches are very loose, ?

the bottom stiches are very loose - i have tried adjusting the tension but this does not seem to help.

Thank you

Hello Emir,
Make sure the presser foot is up when you thread the machine, top tension should be about 5, you should just be able to pull the bobbin thread through with some slight resistence, if it is too tight slacken the screw on the bobbin case ant-clockwise about a quarter of a turn at a time, only use number 50 or 40 mercerised thread on that machine.
